I found a web site that shows you how to make a Hit Counter for a web pae.

Ijust want to know if this sounds right befor I start?

It tells me to take my index.html file witch is my Home Page and re name it index.php so I did this.

Then were ever I want my Hit Counter to be displayed I type this code

<? php
$filenam ="counter.txt;
$fd = fopen [filename,"r"];
$string = frad [$fd, filesize [$filename]];
echo "$string";
fclose[$fd];

$fd = fopen [$filname , "w"]
$fcounted = $fstring + 1 ;
$fout= fwrite [$ed , $fcounted] :
fclose[$ed] ;

?>

Then save it.

Then it tells me to open Notepade and save a blank text file called counter.txt.
And it tells me to save this to the same place.

What I want to know is all the php code it says to type did I type it right or do I need any Spces anywere???

It is hard to see if I should put a space anywere els.

I think I typed it right but I thought I would ask if anyone els did this before?

PHP isn't my native computer language but it looks alright to me. The Great thing about coding though is that if it doesn't work you can go back and fix it. Try it out and see if it works. Be prepared to debug though... you almost always will.

EDIT: Actually I do see a couple of typos in there. Why not just copy and paste the code from the site?
