Advance guest views counter

• Create 32 bit hash using php.

  $randomString = substr(str_shuffle("0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"), 0, 32);

• Advance Guest views counter with month valid cookie.

setcookie($guest, $randomString, time() + (30*86400), "/"); // 86400 = 1 day

<?php

$guest = "Guest";

if(!isset($_COOKIE[$guest])) {

$guestid = "";

    echo "Cookie named '" . $guest . "' is not set!";

    $randomString = substr(str_shuffle("0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"), 0, 32);

setcookie($guest, $randomString, time() + (30*86400), "/"); // 86400 = 1 day

if ($randomString != "") {

$sql = "INSERT INTO guest (hash, views) VALUES ('$randomString', '+1')";

if ($con->query($sql) === TRUE) { echo "You Can Enjoy Site As Guest.Some Features Maybe Disable for Unregistered Users."; } else { echo "Error: " . $sql . "<br>" . $conn->error; }

}

} else {

    echo "Cookie '" . $guest . "' is set!<br>";

    echo "Value is: " . $_COOKIE[$guest];

  $sql = "UPDATE guest SET views=views+1 , lastvisit=Now() WHERE hash='$_COOKIE[$guest]'";

if ($con->query($sql) === TRUE) { echo "You Can Enjoying Site As Guest.Some Features Maybe Disable for Unregistered Users."; } else { echo "Error: " . $sql . "<br>" . $con->error; }

$result = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT * FROM `guest` WHERE `hash` LIKE '$_COOKIE[$guest]'");

while($check = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) {

$guestid = $check['id'];

echo "Guest id is" . $guestid;
