Button click counter save number

Question

I have this fiddle where when the user clicks a button the counter works: http://jsfiddle.net/z66WF/

This is the code:

Answer 1

You need a DB connection to do this.

When the button is clicked, by any user, the value from let's say: "downloaded_times" will be increased with 1.

so you will need a query like:

UPDATE table SET downloaded_times = downloaded_times + 1

this query will be called each time someone presses the button.

If you want to display it, before a certain user wants to start a download, you simply fetch the result from DB and the echo it. You can do more, if you want that field to be constantly refreshed, the fetching and echoing part should be in a ajax called PHP function, that will refresh the div (for instance) every 30 second or so :D

Hope this helps! :D
