Thanks Alex and "samudasu," changing permissions was the key.

I had to change
lhcount.data to 766
public_html directory to 750

I don't understand why it didn't have to be 755 (which also worked)
and I don't understand why index.php worked with permissions 644.
index.php has the php code in it and I would have thought it would
need "execute" permission.
Is this explained clearly somewhere?

Following I is the complete php script I am using for a simple text
counter.

<SPAN style="float : right; color : #999999;">
<?php
/* The file lhcount.data with an initial number must be created in
the same directory as the file with this script */
$fh = fopen('lhcount.data','r+');
$Count=fgets($fh,64);
rewind($fh);
fwrite ($fh, ++$Count);
fclose ($fh);
echo($Count);
?>
</SPAN>

Thanks for the help.
