How can PHP beginners effectively manage multiple counters for different HTML pages within a single file or database?

Managing multiple counters for different HTML pages within a single file or database can be achieved by using an associative array to store the counters for each page. By using the page name as the key in the array, you can easily retrieve and update the counters for each page as needed. 

<?php
// Initialize an associative array to store counters for different pages
$counters = array(
    'page1' => 0,
    'page2' => 0,
    'page3' => 0
);

// Function to increment the counter for a specific page
function incrementCounter($page) {
    global $counters;
    if (array_key_exists($page, $counters)) {
        $counters[$page]++;
    }
}

// Example of incrementing the counter for 'page1'
incrementCounter('page1');

// Display the counter for 'page1'
echo 'Counter for page1: ' . $counters['page1'];
?>
