Php download counter issue

[Javil]

Hi all,

 

i have trouble with a piece of code.

 

HTML:

 

<div class="psdBox"><a href="downloads/001_PSD.php"><img src="webBuild/psdIcon.png" alt="psd icon" /></a> 
   <div class="phpBox">
   <?php

$hit_count = @file_get_contents('http://example.com/downloads/001_PSD.txt');
echo $hit_count;
?></div></div>

 

PHP:

<?php

$url = 'http://example.com/downloads/001_PSD.txt';

$hit_count = @file_get_contents($url);
$hit_count++;
@file_put_contents($url);

header ('Location: http://example.com/downloads/001_PSD.zip'); 

?>

 

What i'm trying to do is to count the downloads on my site using PHP without sql.

 

This code working from the root. [www.example.com/here]

But if i want this code work from a folder [www.example.com/downloads/here]

then i does not work. The 001_PSD.txt won't count up from a folder.

 

In the root, where it works, the chmod of the 001_PSD.txt is standard 0644. This works!

I always thought that i must be 0777, but from the root 0644 is ok.

 

When i tested it from /downloads folder, i tried to set 001_PSD.txt to chmod 0777, but that also fails..

 

Can someone help me to make this work.. i cannot find the problem,

i want to make multiple downloads and don't want to put every download in the root folder..

 

thank,

do you mean to have .txt .php and .zip for your file extensions in that dir?

[Javil]

Yes.

 

Example.com\mypage.php.

In mypage.php stands this code:

 

<div class="psdBox"><a href="downloads/001_PSD.php"><img src="webBuild/psdIcon.png" alt="psd icon" /></a>
   <div class="phpBox">
   <?php

   $hit_count = @file_get_contents('http://example.com/downloads/001_PSD.txt');
   echo $hit_count;
   ?></div></div>

 

So yes, the .txt .zip and .php stands in the folder.
