Error messages Copyright Introduction Count.cgi is a CGI program to keep record of the raw hits of a web page. It generates a GIF image of the number of hits and returns to the browser as an inline image. The program also has run-time option not to show the digit images, this way the hits can be kept without displaying it. Almost all of the features are run-time options. The hits are no way accurate.
Someone can reload the page again and again to increase the hits.
However, people like to see how many times someone visited their page. This program started as a fun to play with CGI programming but due to enormous interest, and feature request, it has turned in to the most configurable counter on the web. An ornamental 3D frame can be wrapped around the counter image with user defined thickness and color at run time . Single program for any number of users for any number of web pages. Any color of the counter image can be made transparent at run time .
