Re: [PHP-DB] Access counter From: Shahmat Dahlan (shahmatd <email protected>)
Date: 07/23/01

If I do the below, like you stated, that means the counter will update
everytime a visitor refreshes the content.

Would it be possible for the counter script not to increase the value by 1
when a visitor merely refreshes. Is it possible to let the script increase the
value by only by one, only if the the visitor for a new content (by clearing
the cache, e.g.).

Thanks you replying..
