If this is a script that is supposed to produce a hit counter that loads images for its numbers, it is poorly designed. The concept that is.With the fonts, colours and various CSS properties available and usable in todays browsers, why do we need to make a counter with images?As for the functionality of your PHP script, I haven't tested it out yet but I would think that if I were to write a counter, I would store the data within the PHP file itself.

It is best not to use system function when typical php functionsdo the job. Create a function to wrap the steps for opening and closing file, and / or also the compute steps.Should this use division and remainder be much better ?It is just my opinion
