A flat file counter

this script is a simple file based counter. This is meant for sites that do not run a db and instead, use a file and a cookie. It isn't the best I've seen but it's simple. Consider this as a tutorial. :)

Just create a file called counter.txt and put this where you want to display the counter.
Remember to set the permissions on counter.txt so that your webserver can write to the file.

<script type="text/javascript">AK47[id].writeDiv();</script>

1. <?
2. $visitor_ip = $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["user_ip"];
3. $counter = "counter.txt";
4. $counter_file_line = file($counter);
5.  
6. if(!$vistor_ip)
7. {
8.   setcookie("user_ip", $REMOTE_ADDR, time()+360000);
9.   $counter_file_line[0]++;
10.   $cf = fopen($counter, "w+");
11.   fputs($cf, "$counter_file_line[0]");
12.   fclose($cf);
13. }
14. elseif($vistor_ip != $REMOTE_ADDR)
15. {
16.   $counter_file_line[0]++;
17.   $cf = fopen($counter, "w+");
18.   fputs($cf, "$counter_file_line[0]");
19.   fclose($cf);
20. }
21. ?>

<script type="text/javascript">document.write('
