Re: page counter

In addition of all people said, I would add a lock to the file :

$cf = fopen($counter_file,"w");

flock($cf,LOCK_EX);

fputs($cf, "$counter_file_line[0]"); fclose($cf);

This to avoid another script attempt to read the file while you update it... I had the problem, so sometimes the counter return to zero... jean-arthur At 13:38 10/04/01 +0800, Wen Ni wrote:
