OK, I want to install a counter and find a script 100% in PHP

"Create a file in this example it is called counter.txt and enter a starting number.
Upload this to your server and on UNIX servers chmod to 755."
Where to upload the counter.txt file ? And how to enable it to chmo = 755
"Copy the following code into a new file called grcounter.php"
Where to upload grcounter.php ?
Thx for help
Full Version: Where to put my files ?

It is your scripts problem I think.
Because everyone at our server have PHP scritpts and they're working.

Put both the grcounter.php and the counter.txt under the public_html folder. To change the permissions on the counter.txt file depends on your FTP program. with WS FTP right click on the file and select properties. then make sure that all the Read, Write, and Execute boxes are checked.
Once thats done then you should be able to call the grcounter.php file with everything working.

I have an old CGI counter that has always worked for me. I will post the code.
Place both files in your /cgi-bin/ directory.
counter.cgi (CHMOD 755)
Please make sure to update $log=""; with whatever the name of your counter file is. If you have just the one, might as well just keep it as counter.txt as I have it.
counter.txt (CHMOD 755)
Since counter.txt will contain the current count, make this number whatever you wish. Just remember that you must have plain numbers (e.g. 12365478 --not-- 123,456,789).
Code to increment the counter and display the result
Change the src to your sites source. This will print out a simple text hit counter.
Hope this helps! I know that its not php, but it works great!

Guys, he/she want to use PHP, not Perl 
PHP scripts work at any directoru under public_html folder.

I think the main problem isn't the script unto itself but the permissions on the counter.txt...
If you're using FTP to change the file permissions the command should look something like this, depending on FTP program:
SITE CHMOD 755 /counter.txt
You can also do it through the file manager thing in cPanel.
You'll also want to check the PHP file to make sure it's actually pointing to counter.txt.
How is it shown on your page? Is a function defined in the .php file, and then recalled via an include statement on the page you wish to display it on?
i.e.
<?php
include("counter.php");
show_counter();
?>
Is an iFrame used?
