I apologize if the title is a bit unclear, but it's the best way I could describe my situation. Basically, I'm trying to replicate buddyprofile.com 's free profile site. Everything is pretty easy, except for one key thing-recognizing unique usernames, listing those usernames, and having the number of total unique usernames listed on index. I'll be getting the username from the URL in the format www.whatever.wherever.org/u=uniqueusername using AIM's username function. Then I want to be able to check if that name has already visited, and if so, do nothing. But if the name isn't in the list, I want to add it to the list, and add 1 to the total number of unique visitors. Something that might be a bonus, though is definately not needed, would be the ability to add a number to the end of the username, in parenthesis, that shows how many times that unique username has visited the profile. Three notes...The entire website will be run on Apache, on my home computer, becuase, quite frankly, no-one will know about the profile unless I'm signed into AIM. The list where names are added/number of visits modified is a seperate page, accessed by a link at the top of the page, which is displaying the total number of unique visitors. And the third I just covered- the total number display will be a link to the list of unique visitors, located near the top of the index page. I apologize if I'm unclear in any way; also, I apologize if I'm posting in the wrong forum area. Thankyou for any help that you can offer.
P.S.-Please, no flames/insults/crossness of any kind towards me for any mistake or omission I may have made-I'm only 15, and the world of dynamic html is quite new to me.
