Problem getting this code to write over 9999 to counter2.txt file ???
Im very much a novice.
At first it writes and displays 10000 then on page reload or an additional visit it reverts to 1000 and the 1001 etc etc.

Im sure its a simple fix ??


<?php
session_start ();

// get current hit
$opFile = fopen ("counter2.txt", "r");
$handle = fread ($opFile, filesize ("counter2.txt"));
fclose ($opFile);

// if new session
if (!isset ($_SESSION['hit'])){

// set session
$_SESSION['hit'] = TRUE;

// add the hit
$handle = $handle + 1;

// print javascript
echo 'document.write("'.$handle.' Hits");';

// put new hit to db
$opFile = fopen ("counter2.txt", "w");
fwrite ($opFile, $handle);
fclose ($opFile);

// else
}else{

// print only
echo 'document.write("'.$handle.' Hits");';
}
?>

I tested your code. The code works fine.

Have fun,

Ctrl-Alt-Del

yeh it works fin until the counter reaches 9999 then it resets to 1000 and starts to count 1001 and upward.

????

Not my code, it was free out there on the web somewhere. on a how to site.

its implemented onto a page with this code ???
perhapse this is my problem ?

<script language="JavaScript" src="counter2.php" type="text/JavaScript"></script>

OH ! and how would I edit it so that it counts up on every refresh without need to clear the browser (so I can add the counter to each pahe on my site?)

You see, I would like to duplicate the counter so that I have an idea of the total page hits throughout the website alongside the more accurate 'homepage' counter which rely's on the session.

You can stop looking now :D

Thank goodness for Google and analytical thought

and the answer was

session_destroy();

at the end of the code :) Im well chuffed with meself.
