Sequential numbers...

[Anon]

Hello,

I wish to generate a script that will do the following:

1. Look at a number in a text file (starting at "00001"),

2. Add another "1" to this number and display the number in my page,

3. Update the original number in the text file (now "00002")

Any ideas anyone?? Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated!! Many thanks,

Daniel Purchese.

Page counter, eh?

Have a look at the php manual, filesystem functions. Pay close attention to fopen, fwrite, fput, fget..

heres the solution

$fp=fopen("/tmp/number.txt","r+");
$readarr=file("/tmp/number.txt");
$read=$readarr[0];
echo "this is the value of read this time ->
".$read." <-";
$read+=1;
echo "this is the value of read this time -> ".$read." <-";
fwrite($fp,$read);
fclose($fp);
