For the statistics script, is that for the webmaster or can it be displayed on a site for browser use as well?

[NGPixel]

both, making your own means that you can display the stats on a website as well...

How would I adjust it for a site?

Personally, i wouldn't even think to use it. It's way to lengthy for the average user, and most servers have pre-installed statistics scripts anyway. If you're using cPanel, they is a section that deals with nothing but statistics.
But if you're interested in writing your own script just for fun, i'd look at the following section in the tutorial database. It will have more, smaller scripts that will work just as good.

It is true that I have a script preinstalled and that it is accessible to me at any time... but I want to create something that browsers can see.

well, the link you posted will just work fine, just put it on your main site, if you want it be viewable for an admin only, just secure it with a password.

How would I do that? Just set up the script... and?

and nothing, just put the information into a database or textfile and then echo it on your frontpage

You probably don't know who you're dealing with. Let's just put it this way: I'm a newb when it comes to this stuff. What is echoing?

[InFnit]

<?php
ehco 'filename.txt';
?>

Will paste whatever is in the textfile into the spot where you put the above code

[G.9]

Okay... I don't believe the tutorial provides what information to paste into this .txt file.

[rc69]

echo 'filename.txt' with not paste anything from that text file. It will simply display 'filename.txt' on the screen, nothing more.
And a couple words of advice.
1. Don't use the statistics script, it's far to complicated. Mix and match the tutorials from the link i provided.
2. php.net is a developers best (and probably only) friend.
http://php.net/echo <-- the echo function

Thank you, I will try all of the resources you have provided.
