How can I differentiate between total click count and daily click count for a specific link in a PHP application?

To differentiate between total click count and daily click count for a specific link in a PHP application, you can use a combination of database queries and date functions. You can store the total click count in a database column and update it whenever the link is clicked. For daily click count, you can store the date of each click in a separate table and query the database to count the number of clicks for the current day.

// Update total click count
$link_id = 1; // ID of the specific link
// Update total click count in the database
$query = "UPDATE links SET total_clicks = total_clicks + 1 WHERE id = $link_id";
// Execute the query

// Get daily click count
$current_date = date('Y-m-d');
// Query the database to count the number of clicks for the current day
$query = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM link_clicks WHERE link_id = $link_id AND click_date = '$current_date'";
// Execute the query and fetch the result
