You need to have a way to store the number so it can be retireved and decramented each time. So either a database or a simple file.

One way would be to have this:

$file = basename($PHP_SELF) . ".NUMBER";
$fp = fopen ($file, "rw");
$number = fread ($fp, filesize ($file));
$number--;
fwrite ($fp, $number);
fclose ($fp);
// $number is now available with the new number
