Reading and writing to a text file

I have problems writing a two digit number to a text file. Here is the code: -- Begin Code ---- if (!$archivo = fopen("contador_banner.txt", "r+")) { echo "Error"; exit; } if (!$texto = fread ($archivo, 2)) { echo "Error"; exit; } $texto = $texto + 1; rewind ($archivo); fputs ($archivo, $texto); fclose ($archivo); ---- End of Code ---- I am writing a very rudimentary banner rotation program. This code snippet accomplishes one task: write a number that indicates the next banner to be displayed. This number is accumulated each time a banner is displayed. Since the code above appends the number at the end of the file, I have problems when it comes to calculating two digit numbers. Among other things. Thanks in advance. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
