OK,
I've been trying to figure this out how to do this....I cant seem to fins anything like this that I can adapt......

I would like to have a counter...looks like a simple page counter...but instead of being triggered by the amount of loads of a page (like all the canned scripts) I'd like to trigger it by clicking a button on another page.

The applications would be for a business to advertise how many installations they have done....the owner could adjust the count himself without any ftp or any web knowledge..

if you can help with an script of something like this...or an idea..or anything!!...thanks in advance!

Thats the problem...I dont know where to start. the only script i ever use are canned scripts...and already written scripts for whatever I want to do. I have tried so many stupid things to get this goin....I even tried implementing a web calculator...but I couldn't get the answer displayed onto the other page. At this point I'd even use a simple counter script if I could have it count the loads of another page..not the page that its on....You know what I mean. I can give you the script I use for simple counters if you want....

Let me know what you are thinking...

THANKS!!

You'd need a server-side language for this... easily done in PHP, ASP, etc.
