PHP Atomic Hit Counter

The hit counter is a trivial function in PHP 4/5 for use with MySQL. There is a couple of demo pages in the project and the source itself is very easy to configure.

Why bother? It's trivial

Yes, yes it is… but this version contains the correct magic incantations to be fast and atomic, without the need for explicit use of database or row locks.
