Is there a way to count how many times an image how been clicked. And once the image is clicked have it displayed?

I am currently pulling random images from a database and want to show which is has been clicked the most.

<html>   <body>

<div style="float:left"> <?php // Connect to the database mysql_connect ('localhost', 'root') ; mysql_select_db ('links'); 

// Number of images $num_displayed = 1 ;

// Select random images from the database $result = mysql_query ("SELECT * FROM links ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT $num_displayed"); 

// For all the rows that are selected while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) 

// Display images { echo "<a href=\"".$row["link"]."\"><img src=\"".$row["image"]."\" border=0 alt=\"".$row["text"]."\"></a>"; } ?> </div>

<div style="float:left; margin-left:100px"> <?php include("image2.php"); ?>

</div> </body> </html>

thanks.

    Create a trigger in image table to count selects

    CREATE TRIGGER `database_name`.`trigger_name` BEFORE SELECT INSERT ON
    `database_name`.`images_table_name` FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
    UPDATE
        `database_name`.`images_table_name`
    SET
        `database_name`.`images_table_name`.`counter` = `database_name`.`images_table_name`.`counter` + 1
    WHERE
        `database_name`.`images_table_name`.`id` = NEW.`id`;
    END$$

    Perform your querys ordering by counter field.

    To register clicks, implements a click tracker quering an update on second field, like ‘clicks’
