A simple script to count and report hits and the last modification time of an HTML page. Requires MySQL support (other DBs should work too, except possibly mSQL).

Changes
1.1 Now using SCRIPT_FILENAME everywhere instead of SCRIPT_NAME. Using
SCRIPT_NAME could result in collisions if virtual hosts are being used.
I.e. hits for www.foo.com/index.html and www.bar.com/index.html would
both be collected for the same URI. Of course this makes the column
name URI a misnomer. Change it if it really bothers you. ;-)

A simple script to be included that reports hits, last modification
and when the hit counting started. You'll need MySQL support.
Though it should be easy to port this to any decent DBMS (mSQL
might be a little sticky becuase of it's severely limited
feature set; I don't use it anymore so I don't know for sure.)
This mysql table must exist in the database 'php' (or you can edit
stuff to suit you).
create table pagestats (
uri varchar(96) primary key,
hits bigint not null default 0,
since datetime
);
It defines several variables:
$hits = Number of hits counted
$since = full blown date & time since the counter started
$lastmod = full blown date & time of the last modification (ctime) of
the file
The following Unix epochs are set. Users can use these if they don't like
default format.
$sincesecs = Unix epoch of since
$modsecs = Unix epoch of lastmod
An example of usage:
1. Put this file somewhere in your PHP include path.
