I haven't had the time to learn CGI, but I need to put a counter on my site. Will any CGI geniouses out there help me?

I know it is something like this (not quite sure):

#!/usr/local/bin/bash

cd [directory where this script resides among with the "counters" and "pic" directories]

CNT_NAME=`echo $DOCUMENT_NAME | cut -d'.' -f1 | cut -d'/' -f7-8`

CNT=`cat counters/$CNT_NAME`
echo $CNT+1 | bc >counters/$CNT_NAME
CNT=`cat counters/$CNT_NAME`

for i in `echo $CNT | sed -e 's/\([0-9]\)/\1 /g'`
do
echo -n "<IMG SRC=\"pic/$i.gif\" ALIGN=MIDDLE ALT=\"$i\">"
done

exit 0

Hoboy...

Hoboy, now you'll start using this board for CGI.

Smack, that isn't CGI, that's Perl. CGI stands for "Common Gateway Interface" which is simply a way for programs to be executed via the web. CGI programs can be binary executables or scripts (like the one below).

#1) Do you have the path to perl correct?

#2) Are you in the cgi-bin or other executing directory?

#3) Is the file CHMODDED to actually be executable?

I'm neither a ho, nore a boy!

Anyway, I have no idea what to do with it. It is supposed to be a hit counter, but I don't have the fuggiest of ideas as to how to set it up!

But...

NedStat is international! I have a Dutch counter at NPA (because I don't want anyone else to know what's going on:), a United Kingdom counter at Guns and Bullets and a United States counter at Randall Flagg's library. Just drop by the adress I give you, you'll see, you can select from several languages and time zones.

Smackrazor, if you don't even know your path to Perl or even what CHMOD is there is no help for you. Read up on this kind of stuff because it is a FUNDAMENTAL PART of perl scripts.

I think I know what CHMOD is roughly, it is to do with unix servers, and it is something to do with perl scripts.

[font color=silver]BTW, Spanish has messed up my spelling.

Well of course you could infer that CHMOD has to do with Perl scripts from my reply. No, CHMOD is not Perl-specific. However you use it ON perl scripts to make them executable.

I'd suggest you just look up the terms on the net because you shouldn't be creating a website if you don't even know the fundamentals of CGI and the servers.

>[font color=silver]BTW, Spanish has messed up

You mean to say that you confused "Nor" with "Nore" pronounced Nor-AY in spanish?

Well, I haven't the faintest idea of how to use a UNIX server. And yet i'm trying to put some boards up on my site. Now isn't that strange?
Hmmmm, I may even get to be able to get it working!

No, I'm not saying that. Taking a foreign language (spanish) has messed up my English spelling.

ouch.....

Here's a simple counter script out of my head for a text counter.

counter.pl

#!/usr/bin/perl/

use CGI;
$var = new CGI;
open (COUNTER, ">data.txt");
$number = <COUNTER>;
close COUNTER;
$number++;
open (COUNTER,">data.txt");
print COUNTER $number;
close COUNTER;
print "Number of page hits:" . $number;
 
Ouch?!

I have no idea what that title meant, but oh well.

It means...

>I have no idea what that

It meant that the information should be so basic that everyone should know it already. It's kind of like hearing a person say "I know so little of the internet that I don't know what HTML is."

Wha?!

Urm, okay... I'll just step this way...

I find it very easy to modify scripts, but I don't have any idea how to make one from scratch. But that is only with perl. I can use CSS and HTML if I start from scratch.
