The basic interface provides three simple functions, illustrated here:
Example #1 "counter"'s basic interface
<?php$starting_counter_value = counter_get();counter_bump(1);$second_counter_value = counter_get();counter_reset();$final_counter_value = counter_get();printf("%3d %3d %3d", $starting_counter_value, $second_counter_value, $final_counter_value);?>
The above example will output:
0 1 0
The basic interface also provides a number of INI settings, documented below.
