:)
I am following a tutorial for php (hudzilla.org)
absolutely loving it
however I am having trouble with the counter example

<?php
// your content here...
$filename = 'counter.txt'; // our counter file
$fp = fopen( $filename,"r"); // open it for READING ("r")
$counter = fread($fp, filesize($filename) ); // read in value
fclose( $fp ); // close it whilst we work

++$counter; // increase the counter by one
print "$counter hits to this page"; // print out the new value

$fp = fopen( $filename,"w"); // open it for WRITING ("w")
fwrite( $fp, $counter); // write in the new value
fclose( $fp ); // close it
?>

however it dont werk :\
by dont work I mean...
it wont add to a number held in counter.txt
it _will_ read that number fine, just not change it
I am currently using
# php -v
PHP 4.3.10 (cli) (built: Apr 4 2005 04:47:06)
