Simple script for anyone that needs to count how many times a certain file is downloaded, and don't have access to a MySQL database. This first page is where the link to the file will be. You can use javascript to make it a pop up, or as it is here, just a normal link to a page containing the download script.

<h1>Download Script Test</h1>
<?php
/*
This is the first part, that is an HTML link to the download
script, named download.php. The d_id=0, tells the script which
file to download, and which file to increase in the count.
*/
?>
<a href="download.php?d_id=0">Click Here To Download</a>

<?php
/*
This is where the file that stores the count is loaded.
Change the name "count.txt" to a file the script can access
and write to on your server.
*/
$s_entry = file_get_contents("count.txt");
/*
This part of the script decodes the data from the flat file
and puts it in a new array called $the_count.
*/
$the_count = unserialize($s_entry);
/*
This part of the script displays the count for each item. It
can be put where needed as long as it comes after the
unserialize function. Just change the index of the array for
each different file.
*/

We also give them a link to click just in case the download doesn't
