Quick question

[JiggaMan08]

Hi, ok here is the deal. I have a simple PHP counter here, that adds 1 hit to a # in a .txt file everytime someone views the site.

<?php 
//First create a file to store the hits. Make sure this file has write permission 
$counternum = "counternum.txt"; 
//Open the file and write the current hits plus one. 
function displayCounter($counternum) { 
     $fp = fopen($counternum,rw); 
     $num = fgets($fp,9999); 
     fclose($fp); 
     $fp = fopen($counternum,w); 
     $num += 1;  

     fputs($fp, $num); 
     fclose($fp); 
}

//Display the Current Hits 
displayCounter($counternum);
?>

That works perfect, the only thing is that in the txt file it prints the # and only the number. I need it to print into the .txt file "hits="

So it would look like this for example, hits=1234 or hits=4321

Thanks a bunch fellas

fputs($fp, "$num" );

Its already there?

$num += 1;

fputs($fp, $num);

fclose($fp);

Sorry I forgot the quotes the first time.
Have another look.

Yes, it still does the same thing as before.

This is what it puts in the text file:

5231

This is what I need it to put in the text file:

hits=5231

[HalfaBee]

fputs( $fp , "hits=$num" );

[HalfaBee]

You will also have to add

$num = str_replace( 'hits=','',$num );

before $num += 1;
