If it's a .php page, you can simply include this file where you want a hit counter to appear.

One file - text output. Very simple, very easy. Based off the filename of the page (creates a pagename.counter file to hold the count).
(No use for it myself - made it for a friend).

<?

//

// phpcounter.php

//

$myPage = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];

$lastPeriod = strrpos($myPage,".");

$lastSlash = strrpos($myPage,"/") + 1;

if(!$lastSlash)

{

  $lastSlash=1;

}

$myLength = $lastPeriod-$lastSlash;

$newString = substr($myPage,$lastSlash,$myLength);

$newString = $newString . '.counter';

$existingfile = file_exists($newString);

if(!$existingfile)

{

  $hits[0] = 0;

  $fp = fopen($newString , "w");

  fputs($fp , "$hits[0]");

  fclose($fp);

}

$hits = file($newString);

$hits[0]++;

$fp = fopen($newString , "w");

fputs($fp , "$hits[0]");

fclose($fp);

echo $hits[0];

?>
