<?php

 

$message = "Visitors";

 

if(!file_exists("counter.txt")

{

$fp = fopen("counter.txt", "a");

fclose($fp);

}

 

$fp = fopen("counter.txt", "r+");

$str = fread($fp, 1024);

$str += 1;

echo("<br>" . $message . ": " . $str);

fwrite($fp, $str);

fclose($fp);

 

?>

You probably have it in the wrong area since I dont even see the Visitors echo on your page.

 

Try putting it right under your Last Update instead.

 

Also, your page name has to be .php for it to work and your server needs to support .php code.
