Creating a simple hit counter?

[pein87]

when you run it in a template use the this but warn you that you must define the script in the top of the custom pages template.

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'my_custom_page'">
<!-- execute this code -->

<!-- /execute this code -->
</if>

That should work so it only displays it on that page and I`m sure you can pass that definition to your php code so it only respnds to hits on that page and with the conditional above it only displays that info on that page if you add it to lets say the footer no need for a custom template.

I would use

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'mycustom_page')
{
//start code

//end code
}

I wouldnt use an else unless you really need the option.

Hope it helps you.
