this is what im doing and ive reset the stats so not sure every little thing is working but i do know its not killing the server anymore and it has logged a visit of mine
it was caught in and endless loop because it was calling the wrong global.php

ive enclose some comments in < > brackets

edit statistic_counter.php and change wherever it has require_once to the full path of the file
like..
require_once('http://www.yoursite.com/forums/global.php'); <maybe only to ./forums/global.php if you have moved it to the root?>
it may only be neccesarry for global.php but i moved my statistic_counter.php to the site root <dont know if i should even do this?> so i changed them all

then in phpinclude_start, this is what i have...
require_once('./../global.php');
include("./../statistic_counter.php"); <is the move to the site root necc or can it stay in forums?>

My forums are located in /forums/

really dont have a clue what im doing, its just a trial and error thing
hopefully some helpful person that knows and understands both scripts, and is experienced with mysql and php comes along and helps us do it the right way

i'll get back to you after i have enough forum activity where i can see if every log function is working
