This script show you how to create a simple website counter using a file.

Create a file (counter.txt), containing the initial number 0 and save it as counter.txt.
Upload it to your server
CHMOD it to 777.

It will look like this:
0

The code:
//Print the current count
$File = “counter.txt”;
$counter = fopen($File, ‘r+’) ;
$data = fread($counter, 512) ;
$count = $data + 1;
print $count;
//Update the Text File With The New Count
fseek($counter, 0) ;
fwrite($counter, $count) ;
fclose($counter) ;
