Simple Text File Counter

[login365]

Hi,

Im trying to make a simple counter using a text file to keep track of how many hits a mini-site gets. So far I have got:

	$File = "log.txt";
	$Open = fopen($File, "a");
	fwrite($Open, "$value");
	fclose($Open);

Cant find out how to read in the the current value and increment it by one, then write it back to the file though.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks,

Mike

Not too difficult, read the count, then just reverse the process.

 $File = "log.txt";
$Open = fopen($File, "r");
$value=fread($Open, filesize($File));
fclose($Open); 
$value++;
echo "Page loaded $value times since whenever.";
$Open = fopen($File, "w");
fwrite($Open, $value);
fclose($Open);
