Hit Counter Resetting

[IFeelYourPain]

I have a simple hit counter, but for some reason it resets itself every now and then. Here is the counter:

<?php
$visits = ("hits.txt");
$hits = file($visits);
$hits[0] ++;
$fp = fopen($count_my_page , "w");
fputs($fp , "$hits[0]");
fclose($fp);
echo $hits[0];
?>

PHP Code:

<?php
$visits = "hits.txt";
// open the file and read how many visitors was
$fp = fopen($visits,"r");
$hits = (int )fgets($fp);
fclose($fp);
// increment the number of visitors
$hits++;
// open the file and write how many visitors are now
$fp = fopen($visits,"w");
fputs($fp,$hits);
fclose($fp);
?>

could be done with a single fopen/fclose but how is now you can see more clear how to do each step.

it work dude. and you don't need any echo. this do exactly what your previous code indend to do.

showing the number of visitors in your page is another problem, isn't it? for that just echo $hits where you want.

Your script did not work at all. I tried it in a regular php page on my server. I found another script and will see how it works out.
