Ok, I'll try using that snippet to get my counter to work. Do you have to program around SSI (like do you need to know ahead of time how to write it if you plan on using SSI or would a premade counter just assumidly(wd?) work?).

Use CGI, lol, I kind of love when people say that. You don't know exactly what you're looking for but they send you to a documentation which is like 100 pages in length :P I'll take a look, it's probably something fairly obvious.

Awesome, looks like MySQL will never have to be used with any of my scripts then. That's a relief cause I've never even been able to open a MySQL database on my server, I'll definately stick with SDBM as that seems to be working great so far.

Thanks for your help Lacertus!
