-GENERAL INFORMATION:
-
-This is a set of script to run a hit counter, specifically designed for TOR hidden services. An up-to-date copy can be downloaded at https://github.com/DanWin/hit-counter
-
-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
-
-You'll need to have php with pdo_mysql, pcre and date extension, a web-server and a MySQL server installed.
-When you have everything installed, you'll have to create a database and a user for the scripts.
-Then edit the configuration in counter_config.php to reflect the appropriate database settings and to modify the settings the way you like them.
-Then copy the scripts to your web-server directory and open the setup.php script like this: http://(server)/setup.php
-Note: If you updated the script, please visit http://(server)/setup.php again, to make sure, that any database changes are applied and no errors occure.
-
-TRANSLATING:
-
-Copy counter_lang_en.php and rename it to counter_lang_YOUR_LANGCODE.php
-Then edit the file and translate the messages into your language and change $I to $T at the top.
-If you ever use a ' character, you have to escape it by using \' instead or the script will fail.
-When you are done, you have to edit counter_config.php, to include your translation. Simply add a line with
-		'lang_code' => 'Language name',
-to the $L array below the settings, similar to what I did for the German translation.
-Please share your translation with me, so I can add it to the official version.
-To update your translation, you can copy each new string to your translation file or edit the automated lang_update.php script to reflect you language and run it.
-
-LIVE DEMO:
-
-If you want to see the scripts in action, you can visit my TOR hidden service http://tt3j2x4k5ycaa5zt.onion/counter_reg.php or via my clearnet proxy https://danwin1210.me/counter_reg.php if you don't have TOR installed.
