Problems with counter

[cyberwolf14]

Hello,
I have problems with my self-made counter sometimes it resets all by itselfs this is the code

<?
function viewfile($filename){
$fd = fopen ($filename, &quot;r&quot;
return fread ($fd, filesize ($filename));
fclose ($fd);
}
function writefile($filename,$contents){
$fd = fopen($filename, &quot;w+&quot;
fwrite($fd , $contents);
fclose($fd);
}

writefile(&quot;bancount.txt&quot;,viewfile(&quot;bancount.txt&quot+1);
$ll = viewfile(&quot;bancount2.txt&quot . &quot;\n&quot; . viewfile(&quot;bancount.txt&quot;
writefile(&quot;bancount2.txt&quot;,$ll);
echo viewfile(&quot;bancount.txt&quot;
?>

What did I do wrong, can you help me ????

I dont know why your conter are doing that. But try my counter, It's working perfectly on my page(

(not fully uploaded yet))

here is the source: Just remeber to make a file named 'counter.txt' in the same folder as your script

<?
//------------------------------------
// Counter File
//------------------------------------

$CounterFile = &quot;counter.txt&quot;; //The counter file.

//------------------------------------
// DO NOT EDIT ANYTHING FROM HERE
//------------------------------------
$fp = fopen($CounterFile, &quot;r+&quot;
$count = fread( $fp, filesize($CounterFile));
$count += 1; //adding 1 to the counterfile
fclose($fp);

$fp = fopen($CounterFile, &quot;w+&quot;
fputs($fp, $count);
fclose($fp);
include($CounterFile); //Putting number of visits on screen
}
?>

<?
$COUNT_FILE = &quot;./counter/count_data.txt&quot;;
$IMG_DIR_URL = &quot;./counter/digits/&quot;;
$NB_DIGITS = 8;
$EXPIRE_DATE = 86400;
if (file_exists($COUNT_FILE)) {
$fp = fopen(&quot;$COUNT_FILE&quot;, &quot;r+&quot;
flock($fp, 1);
$counting = fgets($fp, 4096);
if ($attempt == &quot;&quot {
$counting += 1;
setcookie(&quot;attempt&quot;, $counting, time()+$EXPIRE_DATE , &quot;/&quot;, $SERVER_NAME);

}
flock($fp, 3);
fclose($fp);
} else {
echo &quot;Can't find file, check '\$file' var...<BR>&quot;;
exit;
}

chop($counting);
$nb_digits = max(strlen($counting), $NB_DIGITS);
$counting = substr(&quot;0000000000&quot;.$counting, -$nb_digits);

$digits = preg_split(&quot;//&quot;, $counting);

for($i = 0; $i <= $nb_digits; $i++) {
if ($digits[$i] != &quot;&quot {
$counter_disp .= &quot;<IMG SRC=\&quot;$IMG_DIR_URL$digits[$i].gif\&quot;>&quot;;
}
}
?>

What version of PHP are you using? Is register_globals set to on?
You could try changing

    if ($attempt == "") {

to

    if (!isset($_COOKIES['attempt'])) {
