counter w/ IP validation...

[Chizzad]

ok... so the counter counts and checks the IP... the code isn't finished yet but as of right now it doesn't work.. I get the same error every time... it is

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /opt/sys/data/1stcallmachinery_com/www/Temp/690.php on line 18

here's the code...

$IP=$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"];  
$IPfile="IPlist690.txt";
$fopen=fopen($IPfile, "r+");
$file_contents=fread($fp, filesize($filename));_ 

____fclose($fp);
$lines=explode("\n" ,$file_contents);

if(in_array($IP, $lines))
{
}
else
{ $file="counter690.txt";
$handle=fopen($file, "r+");
$hits=fread($handle,filesize("$file"));
$hits+=1;
fclose($handle);
$handle=fopen($file, "w");
fwrite($handle, $hits);
fclose($handle);
}

anybody have any insight??

Not sure.
Should try to replace: $hits=fread($handle,filesize("$file")); with
$hits=fread($handle,filesize($file));

What is line 18 in this script?
