Don't know if this would be the right forum, however since my site is in php, I figured someone might know something. I got my site built and ready to go live, but is there a way to find out how many visitors I had on my site.

google analytics?

do you have anything where your users need to login ?

you could use this to determine how many people are currently online

or set up a small table with 1 row and cell in labeled something like 'visitors' and simply increment this every time a page is called.

If you're looking for a simple visitor counter. Watch this video by phpacademy on youtube.

Here is his Unique Visitor Counter tutorial.

Yes i have a great ideo to accomplish this without the involvement of database in ur application. Istead using plain text file
Follow the following steps

DO THES WHEN THE PAGE IS LOADED
1- when the page is requested read the content of file;
2- assign the fetched data to a variable
3- increment the variable
4- save the incremented variable to the file

------------- Isnt is nice?---------------------

Additional help

use the File_read() method

As it will be a small file so you reading few bytes solves ur problem
