Authoring/Development - System CGI: multicount

Optional Modifications:

None recommended.

multicount is a script that generates text-only counter values -- in addition to an overall count, it also maintains weekly and daily counts. It is normally used with server side includes. To use it, place the following in your SSI-enabled HTML source:

<!--#exec cgi="/cgi-sys/mcount" -->

The server will parse this command, execute the script, and insert its results in place of the command, as plain text.

multicount does not require any parameters in order to determine which counter is being referenced; it uses the current document name to determine this.
