How can I create a link list on my website that displays total clicks, daily clicks, and resets daily clicks after 24 hours?
To create a link list on your website that displays total clicks, daily clicks, and resets daily clicks after 24 hours, you can use PHP to store and update the click counts in a database. You can then query the database to retrieve and display the click counts on your website. To reset the daily clicks after 24 hours, you can use a cron job to run a script that resets the daily click counts in the database.
// Connect to the database
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
$dbname = "clicks_db";
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
// Update total clicks
$total_clicks = 0; // Get total clicks from database
$total_clicks++;
// Update total clicks in the database
// Update daily clicks
$daily_clicks = 0; // Get daily clicks from database
if(date('Y-m-d', strtotime($last_click_date)) != date('Y-m-d')) {
$daily_clicks = 0;
}
$daily_clicks++;
// Update daily clicks and last click date in the database
// Display total clicks and daily clicks
echo "Total Clicks: " . $total_clicks . "<br>";
echo "Daily Clicks: " . $daily_clicks;
// Close the database connection
$conn->close();
