| Thanks for your advice
Your code was just what I was looking for
It is updating the table with the counter but it is not bringing up the file
to download any more
The modified code is as follows
<a href="increasecounter.php?filename=<?php echo $Link; ?>"
The $Link returns the full path to the file (from the same table as the
count field)
In my increase counter.php I have
***************************************
$filename = $_GET["filename"];
echo $filename;
$Query = mysql_query("UPDATE Resources SET count = count + 1 WHERE Link =
'$filename'");
header("Location: $filename");
exit;
***************************************
I put the echo in just to check the file name is correct
which it is as it is used in the SQLs WHERE clause and it updates the record
as I mentioned earlier
But the file to download is not appearing. Can you see what is wrong
The address in the browser window is as follows if it helps
http://www.mysite.co.uk/increasecou...hers/MyFile.doc
which appears to be wrong
when the file was downloading previously the address would have been
http://www.mysite.co.uk/Resources/Others/MyFile.doc
Any clues
Thanks
