How can PHP be used to store and retrieve click count data for a bet link?

To store and retrieve click count data for a bet link using PHP, you can create a database table to store the link and its corresponding click count. When the link is clicked, you can increment the click count in the database. To retrieve the click count, you can query the database for the specific link.

// Connect to the database
$host = 'localhost';
$dbname = 'your_database_name';
$username = 'your_username';
$password = 'your_password';

$pdo = new PDO("mysql:host=$host;dbname=$dbname", $username, $password);

// Retrieve the click count for a specific link
$link = 'http://example.com/bet-link';
$stmt = $pdo->prepare("SELECT click_count FROM click_counts WHERE link = :link");
$stmt->bindParam(':link', $link);
$stmt->execute();
$clickCount = $stmt->fetchColumn();

// Increment the click count for the link
$incrementedCount = $clickCount + 1;
$stmt = $pdo->prepare("UPDATE click_counts SET click_count = :count WHERE link = :link");
$stmt->bindParam(':count', $incrementedCount);
$stmt->bindParam(':link', $link);
$stmt->execute();
