question about txt & php

Hello.

I wonder how i can make my page update a .txt file each time someone visit my page? when someone visits the number in the .txt should change 1 number, like each visit 1 then 2 thne 3, 4, 5, etc, how can i do this? the file is called "view.php" and the txt is called "view.txt"

 

$filename = "counter.txt";
     $count = file_get_contents($filename);
     if ($count == null)
        $count = 0;
     echo $count;
     $count++;
     $handle = fopen($filename, "w+");
     fwrite($handle, $count);
     fclose($handle);

PHP:

 

Is there a reason you wanted to use a file an not a DB for this?

 

Cheers m8 however, i dont want the counter number to be shown on my page :/ i just want it to count into the txtfile for my private stats checking.

 

Remove this line from his script:

echo $count;
