What happens if you replace $cnt++ with ++$cnt?

This might not work, just an idea...

Please use the following notation and your $cnt++ will work -
$cnt = (int) fread($f, 10);

Oh yeah, of course!
Disregard my answer earlier in this thread, it sucks!

So much for PHPs implicit types! :-p

I put it on my server, it works fine:

<?
if(file_exists( "counter.da t")) {
$f = fopen("counter. dat", "r");
$cnt = fread($f, 10);
//echo "\n", "count 1 = ", $cnt, "\n";
fclose($f);
$cnt++;
//$cnt = $cnt + 1;
//echo "\n", "count 2 = ", $cnt, "\n";
$f = fopen("counter. dat", "w");
fwrite($f, $cnt);
fclose($f);
printf("\n%d people have visited this page\n", $cnt);
}
?>

If that doesn't work, then you need to break the code up into simpler
steps to find out why.

start with:
<?
$cnt=8;
$cnt++;
echo $cnt;

?>
If it says "9", which would be correct, then there's probably something
wrong with your original code. Just reconstruct the original code a
piece at a time until the error reappears.

Re: Can't get $cnt++ to work

I did cast the fread return to an int and it now works now. My php
is on linux and is version 4.3.7.

They all appear fine to me...

Of course... I've heard complaints about this before, but alas, I don't
know what causes it.
I'm trying a new setting now, so if it's alright, please tell me so.

I'm using Sylpheed-Claws (as you can see in my X-Mailer header), so if
anyone knows how to make it _not_ attach the messages I'd be very
delighted to hear it.

Best regards

Re: Can't get $cnt++ to work

I think you may try that:

$cnt=trim($cnt) ;
$cnt++;

Sorry, it may well be my newsreader which has a problem with some formats (I
never thought OE was the perfect newsreader). But now it appears fine here,
ty!

Yeah, the other people complaining about my posts being attachments also
use OE. But I guess I'll just use the inline PGP signature then. Unless
somebody tells me that it is highly non-standard.

Heh.. now wait for the other complaints Anders.. about your sig exceeding
4 lines ;)

FWIW.. I'm not complaining.. the inline version works fine reading it in
Pan (windoze and FreeBSD) and the signed single version also works.. but
from past experience, people dislike this [sigh]. I used to use PGP to
post to most groups too.. as I used to frequent alt.comp.virus regularly..
in some groups more than others, signing posts made sense.. and searching
google for my unmunged address in this post will reveal some idiotic posts
to spam, virus and some suicide groups courtesy of some kid who didn't
like a response I made (kids will be kids I guess) which outlines why I
personally think signing has some benefit.. but I ended up dropping the
lot to keep the peace.

Hopefully you wont get hassled too.. but keep your fireproof suit handy =)

Ian

Hmm, I'd be very sorry to drop my PGP signature. (Are there no space for
security on Usenet?)
I've only begun using it recently and so far, the only complaint I've
had not being about my messages being attached in OE rather than an
actual RFC-822 mail, is one guy who questioned the actual usefulness of
PGP signatures on Usenet.
