   Hi, hope someone can help.
   I have a small amount of php code in my theme to output a hit counter. My client wants this feature. The counter only increases on unique users and this is maintained by saving a cookie.
   The php code works fine if is saved to a separate php file (modified) and accessed directly but it just wont allow me to set a cookie from within wordpress.

   My existing code:
   

   $file = (TEMPLATEPATH."/count.txt");
   $count_unique = 1;
   $cn = 'gcc';
   $count = intval(trim(file_get_contents($file)));
   if ($count_unique == 0 || !isset($_COOKIE[$cn])) {
   ++$count;
   file_put_contents($file, $count);
   setcookie($cn, '1', time()+3600, '/','.localhost');
   }
   echo $count;

   The domain in setcookie is localhost because I'm building locally.

   Any help on this would be greatly appreciated, whether it be on the code or on a hit counter plugin (that works for unique visits).

   Thank you in advance.

   I found some code relating to WP-constants but still nothing :(
   setcookie($cn, 1, time()+3600, COOKIEPATH, COOKIE_DOMAIN);

   Please help if you know the answer.
