The SplCounter (Simple Counter) was created to record more than just how many hits you have had for each page id. It records all referrers along with the time of each hit, and also creates a cookie, set to expire after 24 hours to help keep your counter as accurate as possible. It allows you to display text digits, digit images, a single image, or just hide the counter all together. It also gives you the option of redirecting to another url. SplCounter works using JavaScript, so no need to worry about having SSI (Server Side Includes) available on your server.
