simple_hit_counter
steps:
1. create a file hit.txt in the current directory and type a zero as the only character in it.
If you want to cheat, instead of a zero, use the number you want to start with.
2. chmod the file to 766.
3. change the value of the variable $startdate below
3. insert this script into your web page where you want the hitcounter to be.
