ASP Hit Counter
 

Hi guys,i got this code from the internet but i cannot run it. It gave me the error type mismatch: CLng. How do i resolve this? I used dreamweaver to do up my hit_count.txt which only contains the number zero and nothing else.

What's wrong??


'Dimension variables
Dim fsoObject 'File System Object
Dim tsObject 'Text Stream Object
Dim filObject 'File Object
Dim lngVisitorNumber 'Holds the visitor number
Dim intWriteDigitLoopCount 'Loop counter to display the graphical hit count

'Create a File System Object variable
Set fsoObject = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

'Initialise a File Object with the path and name of text file to open
Set filObject = fsoObject.GetFile(Server.MapPath("hit_count.txt"))

'Open the visitor counter text file
Set tsObject = filObject.OpenAsTextStream

'Read in the visitor number from the visitor counter file
lngVisitorNumber = CLng(tsObject.ReadAll)

'Increment the visitor counter number by 1
lngVisitorNumber = lngVisitorNumber + 1

'Create a new visitor counter text file over writing the previous one
Set tsObject = fsoObject.CreateTextFile(Server.MapPath("hit_count.txt"))

'Write the new visitor number to the text file
tsObject.Write CStr(lngVisitorNumber)

'Reset server objects
Set fsoObject = Nothing
Set tsObject = Nothing
Set filObject = Nothing

'Display the hit count as text
'Response.Write(lngVisitorNumber)

It would be better if you use a Application object, for solving this problem of number of visitors...always a better option...

Alternatively, you can check the Page Counter Component at

and use that!...
