I know hardly anything about PHP and am trying to create a very simple script. It is the beginning of a web counter.
There is a file named count.log that has a single line in it with a zero (0). I want to read the file and create a gif displaying the number. One is then added to the count and it is written back to the log file. The gif displays but I do not believe the the log is read or written. The value of 0 appears which is what I initialize the log file to. CODE <?php $count_file = 'count.log'; $my_img = imagecreatefromgif ("count.gif"); $textcolor = imagecolorallocate($my_img, 0, 0, 0); $count = 0; file_get_contents($count_file, $count); imagestring($my_img, 4, 2, 3, "Counter $count", $textcolor); $count = $count + 1; file_put_contents($count_file, $count); header( "Content-type: image/png" ); imagepng( $my_img ); imagedestroy( $my_img ); ?> |

Also, the Content-Type header should be image/gif if you create a GIF image (though browsers may display it anyway).

I will check with them some day. I have also posted the question at the 1and1 forum and am still waiting for a response. |

It increments and displays the .png with no error. Also, when I inserted my 2 lines for error checking I got actual error messages, don't remember them now. |
