Hi shror,

That is not really complicated.
But you'll have to be clearer.
Do you want to store in a database?
Do you want a counter that counts every page, or just hits on a domain?

If you are new to PHP, I would advise you to use something like google
analitics for your sites. (urchin tracker)
You only need to add a small piece of Javascript to your pages of
interest, and make a (free) account at google per domain you want to track.

The result will be a much more professional reporting than a simple counter.

Of course, if you want to make a counter because you want to learn how
to do it in PHP, just ask again, and we will get you going.

Regards,
