<p>This is the simplest hit counter I could imagine (well, almost). Every time a<br />
page is requested, it adds one to the count. The display is not an image, just<br />
text. There is no javascript to hit some third-party server, no tracking, no<br />
distinction among pages: just an old-fashioned site counter CGI, implemented in<br />
WordPress. The plugin stores its count in its own MySQL table.</p>
<p>Once the plugin is installed (described below), you can display the count by<br />
putting code like this somewhere on your page:</p>
<pre><code><?= simplehitcounter_hit(); ?>
</code></pre>
<p>That will both increment the counter and display its value. There is no method<br />
for getting the value without incrementing it. I suppose I could write such a<br />
thing if anyone likes.</p>
<p>There is a minor race condition. First the plugin updates the database by one<br />
(atomically), then it queries for the current count. Therefore in heavy traffic<br />
it is possible for two updates to happen before either select. In that case,<br />
the counter will correctly increment, but the number displayed may be the same<br />
for each user, representing the total page hits. As far as I can tell, this<br />
race condition is inevitable without locking the table. It seems trivial<br />
enough, though I guess you should be warned if you run a contest to give away a<br />
free car to the 1,000,000th user.</p>
<p>By default the plugin keeps its data in a table called <code>wp_simplehitcounter_hits</code>.<br />
You can change this by editing the <code>simplehitcounter.php</code> file.</p>
