yes i read that somewhere so i removed the echo,
unfortuatly its still not working i can’t get it to show any images, just says “hit counter” on my webpage. does anyone have this working on a live webpage.
below is the code i am using:-
`
<?php
session_start();
$debug = true; // Change this to false when you want to stop the extra echos
$counter_name = "counter.txt";
// Check if a text file exists. If not create one and initialize it to zero.
if (!file_exists($counter_name)) {
$f = fopen($counter_name, "w");
fwrite($f,"0");
fclose($f);
}
// Read the current value of our counter file
$f = fopen($counter_name,"r");
$counterVal = fread($f, filesize($counter_name));
fclose($f);
// Has visitor been counted in this session?
// If not, increase counter value by one
if(!isset($_SESSION['hasVisited'])){
$_SESSION['hasVisited']="yes";
$counterVal++;
$f = fopen($counter_name, "w");
fwrite($f, $counterVal);
fclose($f);
}
$counterVal = str_pad($counterVal, 5, "0", STR_PAD_LEFT);
$chars = preg_split('//', $counterVal);
$im = imagecreatefrompng("canvas2.png");
$src1 = imagecreatefrompng("$chars[0].png");
$src2 = imagecreatefrompng("$chars[1].png");
$src3 = imagecreatefrompng("$chars[2].png");
$src4 = imagecreatefrompng("$chars[3].png");
$src5 = imagecreatefrompng("$chars[4].png");
imagecopymerge($im, $src1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 56, 75, 100);
imagecopymerge($im, $src2, 60, 0, 0, 0, 56, 75, 100);
imagecopymerge($im, $src3, 120, 0, 0, 0, 56, 75, 100);
imagecopymerge($im, $src4, 180, 0, 0, 0, 56, 75, 100);
imagecopymerge($im, $src5, 240, 0, 0, 0, 56, 75, 100);
// Output and free from memory
header('Content-Type: image/png');
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);
?>

still not understanding if my counter went to 88 how does the script know to use the image file 8.png if its not in the code??
