On your home page, put this code

PHP Code:

<?php

    // connect to our mysql server, and select the database
    mysql_connect("localhost", "mysql_username", "mysql_password");
    mysql_select_db("your_db_name");

    // get the amount of page views
    $sql    =    mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `hits`");
    $views    =    mysql_num_rows($sql);

    // get the amount of unique views
    $sql    =    mysql_query("SELECT DISTINCT(IP) FROM `hits`");
    $unique    =    mysql_num_rows($sql);

    // get the first hit
    $sql    =    mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `hits` ORDER BY `time` LIMIT 1");
    $first    =    mysql_fetch_array($sql);

    // add this hit
    $sql    =    mysql_query("INSERT INTO `hits` (`IP`, `time`) VALUES ('".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']."', '".time()."')");

    // display text
    echo "There has been ".number_format($views)." page views since ".date("F j, Y", $first['time'])."<br>";
    echo number_format($unique)." of those were unique hits.<br>";

?>
