PHP Counter -- Config Domain Access

If you don't want other people take advantage of your PHP counter, you may set referer validation in graphcount.php.

Enabling HTML validation will prevent other people from using the script installed on your server to count hits on their site.

Open graphcount.php file and set $check_referer = 0; to 1 to enable HTML referer validation.
In $referers = array ("domain.com","someotherdomain.com"); set the domains you allow to use the counter.

Example of a correctly configured counter which will only allow counting hits on pages under PHPJUNKYARD.COM domain:

$check_referer = 1;
$referers = array ("phpjunkyard.com");

Save the file and upload it to server.
