Alternative visitor counter displays

Besides normal decimal numbers and Roman numerals, numerator.php can display several alternative formats. The counter itself continues to count normally; only the visible counter graphic changes.

All variants use the same counter ID. To keep the existing counter value and statistics, do not change your ID.

Available formats

STYLE	Display	Example for 2026
`H0–H14`	Hexadecimal, uppercase	`7EA`
`h0–h14`	Hexadecimal, lowercase	`7ea`
`b0–b14`	Binary	`11111101010`
`B0–B14`	Base36, uppercase	`1KA`
`UTC0–UTC14`	Current UTC time	dynamic
`UDATE0–UDATE14`	Current UTC date	dynamic
`HELLO0–HELLO14`	Greeting based on browser language	language-based

How to change the embed code

Use the current compact embed and replace counter.php with numerator.php in the <noscript> fallback and in the JavaScript counter URL.

Then enter the desired STYLE value in both places. Keep your existing counter ID unchanged.

counter.php  ->  numerator.php
STYLE=0      ->  STYLE=H0 / h0 / b0 / B0 / UTC0 / UDATE0 / HELLO0

Hexadecimal

Use H0 to H14 for uppercase hexadecimal output and h0 to h14 for lowercase output. The number still counts in decimal internally.

2026 → 7EA2026 → 7ea

Embed: STYLE=H0

What does the number after the prefix mean?

The number selects the text style. For all variants, values 0 through 14 are available. Only the prefix determines the output format.

H0 ... H14
h0 ... h14
b0 ... b14
B0 ... B14
UTC0 ... UTC14
UDATE0 ... UDATE14
HELLO0 ... HELLO14

What happens to the counter and statistics?

Nothing is reset. The real counter value, reload protection, pageview logic, statistics and visitor data continue to work normally. numerator.php changes only what is drawn into the returned counter graphic.

Roman numerals

Roman numerals are documented separately because they have their own display rules and STYLE prefix L.

H  = hexadecimal uppercase
h  = hexadecimal lowercase
b  = binary
B  = Base36 uppercase
UTC   = UTC time
UDATE = UTC date
HELLO = browser-language greeting
