There is a hit counter on every page of my site, and on firefox i knoticed that when i click a link on my site the hit counter goes up 2 times, I can see the page start to load then get repleaced with the page again (it all happens very fast becuase im viewing it on my localhost). But on internet explorer when you click a link the page only loads once. Allso on firefox once i have visited the page once its fine (it only loads once).
Ive got no javascript on the page or anything like that, its just html and a style sheet, server side theres a mysql database and some of the site info loads from text files. The problem is on every page
+Rep if anyone knows how to fix it, or whats causing it.
Thanks.

Are you using it on multiple tabs? As, it might be reading the active site connections from the refresh. =P
-
Nope, just 1 tab, and the hit counter goes up by 2 on firefox so its not displaying the the old copy of the page then waiting to recieve the new one.

if u have the counter on 2 pages ie..
index.php has the counter on it, and then lol.php also has counter on it, therefore when lol.php is included in index.php it counts as two.

This may be the answer. would it count if i was using this? Originally Posted by Jackboy

EDIT: just went to the file that the hit counter is included in and refreshed that on firefox and it still did 2 hits, then i did it on ie and it only did 1.
Thanks for your help anyway

Thats the hit counter code, i thought the same as you, but php is server side so i dont understand how it can happen for firefox but no ie. Originally Posted by Jewish Bear

$hits = $hits + 1;
$open = fopen($hitcount , "w");
fputs($open , "$hits");
fclose($open);
echo $hits;
