OK so I've adapted some code I found to hopefully record a click event and display it live in my wordpress site, but it isn't working. here is the code I've written. This is my fist attempt at writing code in general. Can anyone see where i'm going wrong?
doing_totalcount.php
<?php
if (onclick"<a href="#" class="menu-link">EDGE</a>($counters_folder . md5($file) . '_counter.txt')) {
$fp = fopen($counters_folder . md5($file) . '_counter.txt', "r");
$count = fread($fp, 1024);
fclose($fp);
$fp = fopen($counters_folder . md5($file) . '_counter.txt', "w");
fwrite($fp, $count + 1);
fclose($fp);
} else {
$fp = fopen($counters_folder . md5($file) . '_counter.txt', "w+");
fwrite($fp, 1);
fclose($fp);
}
?>count_totalcount.php
<?php
function get_totalcount_count($file = null) {
$counters = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/files/counter/';
if ($file == null) return 0;
$count = 0;
if (file_exists($counters . md5($file) . '_counter.txt')) {
$fp = fopen($counters . md5($file) . '_counter.txt', "r");
$count = fread($fp, 1024);
fclose($fp);
} else {
$fp = fopen($counters . md5($file) . '_counter.txt', "w+");
fwrite($fp, $count);
fclose($fp);
}
return $count;
}
?>call_totlcount.php
<?php
include($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "/php/count_totalcount.php");
$item['lifetime'] = get_totalcount_count;
echo json_encode($item);
?>static_totalcount.php
<?php
include($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "/php/count_totalcount.php");
$item['lifetime'] = get_totalcount_count;
?>totalcount.js
$(document).ready(function() {
$.ajaxSetup({cache: false});
getStatus();
});
function getStatus() {
$.getJSON('php/call_totalcount.php', function(data) {
$('#lifetime').html(data.lifetime);
});
setTimeout("getStatus()",1000);
}index.php
<?php include($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "/php/static_totalcount.php"); ?>

PHP making a download counter without leaving the current page
