hi,

  I have the following doubt:
 I have a list of reviews. Now if i want to know how many times a particular review has been read,Do i have to implement it using sessions? OR how do i maintain a read hit counter for each review?
 I am not really concerned about accurate hit counts.
 Any non-session based simple,hit counter code will do.

Thanks.

I'd put the hit counter in a flat file or DB table.

If your list of reviews is DB-driven, the latter would be best.

You'd do that something like the following.
UPDATE `sql_table` SET `counter_field` = `counter_field` + 1 WHERE `some_condition` = true;

Session-based counters only last for the session and are only representative of that user, not all users. I assume you want something more persistent and representative of all users.

Regards,
Rich
