hi again, that idea seems to have worked but for some reason the numbers stopped incrementing, i cant see anything wrong with it and ive been trying for about 3 hours now but still getting nowhere, any help would be even greater, if i change the dat file manually, it updates on the pages so i know the problem lies somewhere on the 'writing back to the file' stage.
heres the first page, with the download link...
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Untitled</TITLE>
<META NAME="GENERATOR" CONTENT="HTMLIATE">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" TEXT="#000000">
<a href="nk3.php" class="linksheet">Download Note Keeper 3 9X Edition</a>
<?php
function Counter($counterfile='counter.dat')
{
if (file_exists($counterfile))
{
$fp = fopen($counterfile, 'r');
$num = fread($fp, 100);
fclose($fp);
$counter = $num;
}
else
{
$fa = fopen($counterfile, 'w');
fwrite( $fa, 0, 100);
fclose($fa);
chmod($counterfile, 0777);
$counter = "0";
}
return($counter);
}
print Counter();
?>
</BODY>
</HTML>
...that page seems to work fine, the number appears next to the link and if i manually edit the file, the number changes to match, so i see no problems there, now, this is the page the link points to...
<?php
function Counter($counterfile='counter.dat')
{
if (file_exists($counterfile))
{
$fp = fopen($counterfile, 'r');
$num = fread($fp, 100);
$cnum = ($num + 1);
fclose($fp);
$fa = fopen($counterfile, 'w');
fwrite( $fa, $cnum, 100);
fclose($fa);
}
else
{
$fa = fopen($counterfile, 'w');
fwrite( $fa, 0, 100);
fclose($fa);
chmod($counterfile, 0777);
}
}
header('Location: NK3.zip');
?>
...the header lines working as i can download the file but for some reason, its either ignoring the rest, or theres a bug somewhere, hopefully this will be the last help i need for a while (or until my next 'good' idea anyway lol)
thanks.
