My PHP script doesnt work

PHP

I have a windows 8 installation with a wamp-joomla website running on port 80.

Now I have another html site using iis on port 8080. So far so good. Both sites work fine. Apart from the wamp stack installed at c:\wamp, Another PHP install exists at c:\php for use with iis.

The php version can be accessed from another pc on my LAN by typing http://myip:8080/phpinfo.php. The phpinfo.php file resides in the root of website folder.

My homepage uses a reference to a page counter script 'counter.php' also in the same folder. if I type http://myip:8080/counter.php directly, the php file executes, however, there is no output when the same counter.php is embedded in my home page 'index.html'.

contents of 'counter.php' are as under:

$count_my_page = ("hitcounter.txt");
$fp = fopen($count_my_page , "r");
$hits = file($count_my_page);
$hits[0] ++;
fclose($fp);
$fp = fopen($count_my_page , "w");
fputs($fp , "$hits[0]");
fclose($fp);
echo "Hits ", "$hits[0]", "";
?>

What am I doing wrong ? How can I access the counter script ?

Also when I directly access counter.php, everytime the counter reads 1 only.


My home page calls the counter.php by simply :


include 'counter.php';
?>
