What is the best way to create a unique page view, or does any one know a good cftag?

I want to display how many times a page was accessed.

Ennio - Your basic two options would be updating a text file with a counter, or updating a database table that tracks hits. You could either insert an individual record for each hit, or(probably a much better idea) simply increment a single record that stores total number of hits. If you wanted to track multiple pages, each page could have its own record and associated hit count

If you save a page view to a database table you can add the users IP address to a field to track unique users.

Add the following :

<cfset newIP = CGI.REMOTE_ADDR>

Next save the 'newIP' variable with an insert statement. This creates a good audit trail too.

Hi Ennio,

Check out this link if it helps http://tutorial7.easycfm.com

There are also other tutorials on hit counter. Just visit the site and enter "hit counter" in the search box, you will see them all.
