Increment counter via GET-Request?

[Tim Hussein]

Hi,

this is my situation:

I have a counter on my MAIN page. It is incremented by requesting a certain
"picture" which is the output of a script. I can do this manually with:

http://www.mydomain.com/script.php?id=123456&vid=987654

This increments the counter.

This is my wish:

I have another page with a discussion board. The address is something like
http://board.mydomain.com. Now I want to add these hits to those of the
counter.

My idea is to write a script which does something like:

<?php
send GET-request to increment the counter (invisible for the user);
redirect to the board;
?>

Is this possible? How do I do this?

It would be great if someone could help me.

Greetings,


Tim

Why don't you just add that counter picture to the board's template
somewhere?
