my script crashes explorer =/

[iostream71]

it works fine until i close the browser, then open a new instance. it causes my ie6 to think it's offline, displaying the work offline/try again box. works fine for netscape with no crashes

basically, i have a flash animation that calls this script, and it writes the count to a text file which flash reads

<?php
session_start();
//counter file
$filename = &quot;counter.dat&quot;;
$fp = fopen ($filename, &quot;r&quot;
$count = fread ($fp, filesize($filename));
fclose ($fp);
//user hasn't visited
if (!isset($HTTP_SESSION_VARS['count'])) {
//junk variable to determine visit
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['count'] = 1;
$count++;
$fp = fopen( $filename,&quot;w&quot;
fwrite($fp, $count, filesize($filename));
fclose( $fp );
}
//write for flash
print &quot;&counterValue=&quot;;
print $count;
?>

used this one, sorry

<?php
session_start();
//counter file
$filename = &quot;counter.dat&quot;;
$fp = fopen ($filename, &quot;r&quot;
$hits = fread ($fp, filesize($filename));
fclose ($fp);
//user hasn't visited
if (!isset($HTTP_SESSION_VARS['count'])) {
//junk variable to determine visit
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['count'] = 1;
$hits++;
$fp = fopen( $filename,&quot;w&quot;
fwrite($fp, $hits, filesize($filename));
fclose( $fp );
}
//write for flash
print &quot;&counterValue=&quot;;
print $hits;
?>

ok, i found out my explorer was corrupt, which was causing the crash problem

my other problem is, the counter resets to 1 after 10 hits every time

What is the lifetime of sessions on your system? ______________________________________________________________________
Perfection in engineering does not happen when there is nothing more to add.
