[SOLVED] Using Filesystem Functions

[Solar]

Okay, This may be a difficult question and I've tried many times and cannot succeed.

 

What I want to do is when a user clicks on a button on my site, they will get credited for.. So.. In order for the points to add up by 1 each time, I want to use the Filesystem Functions.

 

<?php
$handle = fopen("c:\\data\\filehere.txt", "r");
?> 

 

For example;

Say Steven has 32 points. When he clicks that button, he will then get 33 points.

 

How can I make sure that when using Filesystem Functions calculate the total before and add 1 onto it after?

 

 

Thanks in advanced!

Steven

$total = (int) file_get_contents('c:\\data\\filehere.txt');
file_put_contents('c:\\data\\filehere.txt', ++$total);
