I am having a little problem setting something up.
Lets suppose i have this simple page:

<html>
<body>
<?php echo "hello"; ?>
</body>
</html>

And in my database, i have a table with a visitors counter, which is zeroed now.

What i want to do is, to show this Hello message only for some visitors, more exactly using a rule like:

Show for 5 persons, and skip 3 persons, then show for the next 5, and skip the next 3 again…

And keep going this way.
Sorry for the dumbness but i think i could do something with multiple numbers, i’m just having problems setting up the if, foreach, etc…

Well, if someone could help me, i will be really glad.

Thanks in advance.

    Ok, seams you start learning, so I will give you a hint in pseudo php code what you can do:

    <?php
  $countFromDb = getCoundFromDB();
  if ($countFromDb % 8 != 0 && $countFromDb % 8 != 7 && $countFromDb % 8 != 6) {
    echo "hello";
  }
  increaseCoundFromDB();
?>

    Than you need to use a database like mySQL or SQLite to store the value.

    And you should care about that if a user refreshes the page this does not count again using a cookie or storing the clients IP.
