Web hit counter program with PHP
Dear my friends... I am writing a program to count how many time my homepage has been visited with PHP. The algorithm is: " if the visitor doesn't have the cookies, that means he/she just visited my homepage after the last time he/she close his/her internet browser. So I open my file which located in the directory of my homepage to read and increased the value inside it once. " I am using SuSE Linux 8.1 and PHP 4.2.2. But I'm stucked with these error message: " Warning: fopen("ngitung.txt", "w") - Permission denied in /srv/www/htdocs/iamsoft/isimuka.php on line 9 Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /srv/www/htdocs/iamsoft/isimuka.php on line 10 Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /srv/www/htdocs/iamsoft/isimuka.php on line 11 Warning: fopen("ngitung.txt", "r") - No such file or directory in /srv/www/htdocs/iamsoft/isimuka.php on line 13 Warning: fread(): supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /srv/www/htdocs/iamsoft/isimuka.php on line 14 Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /srv/www/htdocs/iamsoft/isimuka.php on line 16 Warning: fopen("ngitung.txt", "w") - Permission denied in /srv/www/htdocs/iamsoft/isimuka.php on line 18 Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /srv/www/htdocs/iamsoft/isimuka.php on line 19 Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource " Any body would be so nice to help me?

Dear Jerry... Firstly, thank you for your help. There are some things that I have not understood. 1. If I want to make my web server (Apache) may write into "/srv/www/htdocs/iamsoft/ngitung.txt", how should I do that? 2. If I want to make a writable directory, how should I do that? 3. If I can also use symlink, how should I do that? Is it somewhat like "ln -s"? I am looking forward to your further explanation, thank you very much in advance.... --- Jerry Feldman <gfeldman@attbi.com> wrote:

Dear Jerry...
Firstly, thank you for your help.
There are some things that I have not understood.
1. If I want to make my web server (Apache) may write into "/srv/www/htdocs/iamsoft/ngitung.txt", how should I do that? Make the iamsoft directory writable. But be very careful since by making it writable you open it up to a multitude of security risks.
2. If I want to make a writable directory, how should I do that? use the chmod command (eg. chmod o+w directory). I'm not going to go into the details. I suggest that you do not make your main document directories writable for security issues, which is why I suggested a symlink.
3. If I can also use symlink, how should I do that? Is it somewhat like "ln -s"? ln -s /tmp/ngitung.txt /srv/www/htdocs/iamsoft/ You need to have permission in /srv/www/htdocs/iamsoft/ to set the link (eg. become root).
Note that Apache should be running as the "nobody" user.
