Yes a crafty way to make ppl think youve got a rockin site.
Save this as cron_views.php, and upload it the the root directory of your site, set cronjob to run on it once a minuet, change the viewcount to whatever you want
ENJOY!
Code:<?php
require_once( "include/config.php" );
//update view count by cron
$result = mysql_query("UPDATE video SET viewnumber = viewnumber + 43 ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 500")
or die(mysql_error());
?>
Its nice, but why not work your ass off to get real stats?

While one could do that, I do not see where that would be useful. If anything, that would do nothing more than add a bunch of load on your server, especially as your site gets larger. Running through your DB to change every entry periodically not only consumes CPU, but it could overload your server as time goes on.
by the time your site is that large you wont need it.
its just to make the site look used when its new, anyways it has a LIMIT option to reduce strain
Your site doesn't have to get that large to start to have problems. Many people who use vShare have very little server admin experience. Many of the mySQL installations that I have seen are no where near up to the task of handling running queries like that. An improperly configured mySQL installation running this could have problems as early as 500 videos. I've seen it happen.
ok i hear ya!
Im still using it though :evil:
Hey... it's your site. You're free to do whatever you want with it :twisted:
How to rum corn job
Depends on your server. If you have command line access, use "crontab -e" command to add crontab. Most control panels have option to add cron job.Quote:
