Take a look at the parameters for fopen()

Personally i’d just replace it all with [FPHP]file_get_contents[/FPHP] and [FPHP]file_put_contents[/FPHP] myself…

I have a counter which uses fopen(), fwrite(), etc. It doesn’t work on my Windows/XAMPP test server but works fine on the live system. @StarLion 's right it’s easier with file_get_contents and file_put_contents.

Hi,

I just tested the code from your first post and it works ok for me.

Could this be because of the session? The counter was intended to count visitors as opposed to page views.

Other than that, could you provide steps as to how I can recreate your problem.

Pullo thanks for ur response…I’m recheck code… code is working…but when I use image to show hit counter… Code not working…if possible to email me a zip of all resources related to hit counter then please send…code and images please send…please help me to complete this task…as soon as possible…

Hi there,

I removed your email address. Posting it in a public forum is a great way to get spammed.

The thing is, it sounds like you are asking me to do all the work for you. This I won’t do. If you are stuck with one part of the project, I’m more than willing to help, but I won’t just email you everything.

Thanks for reply pullo…so help me to complete this task… … Can u tell me what’s is counter.png… I change the image but value in image isn’t change… It’s remains same… so Help me to create counter.png file…

If you don’t know what you’re code is doing, why not try a different approach? Find - or make - yourself a set of 10 images 0 - 9 and use code something like the following to print out one digit at a time:

$length = strlen($count);
for ( $i=0; $i<$length; $i++ ) {
  $digit = substr($count, $i, 1);
  $image = 'digits/' . $digit . '.gif';
  $size  = getimagesize($image);
  echo '<img src="', $image, '" alt="', $digit, '" ', $size[3], '>';
}

Just a thought…
