[SOLVED] Counter help

[Vivid Lust]

I need some beginner's php help on a counter which only says: array :s

 

here's my coded:

 

Counts:

<?php
$count_my_page = ("hit.txt");
$hits = file($count_my_page);
$hits = $hits ++;
$fp = fopen($count_my_page , "w");
fputs($fp , "$hits");
fclose($fp);
?>

Resets:

<?php
$count_my_page = ("../hit.txt");
$hits = file($count_my_page);
$hits = "0";
$fp = fopen($count_my_page , "w");
fwrite($fp , "$hits
");
fclose($fp);
?>

 

Thanks in advanced if someone can help!

how about posting the code that is displaying "array"

<?php include("../hit.txt"); ?>

What are you wanting this counter to do?

I coded one that has intelligence based - behind it..

 

It counts up 1 for every visitor that visits the site, but then records that users IP address in a database, so if they ever come back to the site again using that computer - the counter doesnt go up by 1, it just stays the same...

 

I can post the code and explain it, if youd like

its just a hit counter...

 

i think the problem is how it resets and the code cant ++ ???

<?php
$fp = fopen("hit.txt", "r");
$hits = fread($fp, 1024);
fclose($fp);
$hits = $hits + 1;
echo "Count = " . $hits . "</p>";
$fp = fopen("hit.txt", "w");
fwrite($fp, $hits);
fclose($fp);
?>

 

That should work
