Read the following FAQ, which is linked in the Resource Center (You will have to tweak the codes a bit to work in the admin_html.pl file.)

Have you even been to the Resource Center? Doesn't seem like it.

I have looked there, I have been trying for a few hours to get that 'sub numlinks' thing to work in admin_html.pl, and I can't seem to get it to work, tried [uttin it in db_utils.pl and that and still no luck.
That's why I am posting here, hoping that someone can give me some advice on how I can do it.

Okay...well the next thing you should've done is search the forum (because I have posted the codes for the admin_html.pl about three times in the past two months)! 
Okay...for the third time....
1) Add the following in your admin_html.pl file:
sub numlinks {
#------------------------------------------------------------------
# Displays number of links
my $count = 0;
open (DB, "<$db_links_name") or
&cgierr("error in numlinks. unable to open database:$db_links_name.\nReason:
$!");
LINE: while (<DB> ) {
if (!(/^#/) && !(/^\s*$/)) {
$line = $_;
chomp ($line);
@fields = &split_decode ($line);
++$count;
}
}
close DB;
return $count;
}
2) Then add the following codes in any of the pages in the admin_html.pl where you want the total number of links to appear:
|;
print &numlinks;
print qq|
Got it?

Thanks, it works now!
I tried something similar to that, the only thing I forgot to put in was the 'print' statment, I left that out. That's why it wouldn't show anything :-). Thanks again.
