Wordpress Popular Posts - Store views for existing posts

<?php
/*
Include this script then access your wordpress website with the URL ending in: ?wppscan=1

It will go through each post, 10 at a time, and update the views total/daily/weekly/monthly as post meta.

This is to co-exist with your own option that saves these values periodically when saving post. That functionality is not included here.
