You need to follow these steps to implements such functionality:

 

1. Keep track of views. This can be saved in your post/article/etc table along with other info, or in a separate table with a foreign key to the article ID. Each time an article is loaded using PHP, simply update the views column in the table. (You might also use flat-files, the principle is the same)

 

2. Query for articles based on views. The basic query looks something like this:

SELECT * FROM articles ORDER BY views DESC LIMIT 10

i understand a bit what is a database and what is a table, the Query u gave me is exactly what i 'm using, the problem that bothers me is the php code.. i mean how to connect between the HTML and MySQL

 

thanks alot for helping
