Here goes (very quick, might mess up):

$file="./counter.dat";
$count=@file($file);
$count=trim($count[0]);
$count++;
$fp=fopen($file,"w");
fwrite($fp,$count);
fclose($fp);
echo 'You are visitor '.$count.'!';

works, provided you have write-access to the file on your server.

Dave, in that script you'll need to position the file pointer before writing in order to get the count data stored correctly.

if you add this line to your code just before the fwrite command it works fine:

rewind($fp);
