This is a very versatile
counter. It can be used with
Server Side Includes (SSI)
or by a simple HTML image
tag. The SSI method
allows for more display
options, such as plain text
output, which can then be
manipulated by the HTML
markup of the web page. On
the other hand, the image
tag method can be used to
put counters in HTML
documents residing on remote
web sites. You can even
embed a VersaCounter in
virtual HTML documents
produced by other CGI
scripts. With SSI operation
the script outputs ordinary
text/html to the server,
which then parses it into
the web page. For the text
counter style this output is
plain text, with an optional
preset hyperlink around the
hit count. For the graphical
counter styles the script
replaces the hit count with
an HTML image tag
pointing to the GIF image of
the counter, saved as
another file on the server.
It can also block against
consecutive reloads and
optionally log visitor's
info.
