Here's an idea for testing purposes to determine why it's counting low,
too....
Have your PHP script write to two files --- one that contains the number
as it is now, and one that writes the number and a timestamp on a new line
each time it's accessed. This way, you can scan down the list to see where
the error occurs, and then cross-check it with your Apache logs at the time
indicated by the timestamp.

Thanks Daniel, I will switch that. Like I said, I copied it from
someone's (obviously erroneous) example and didn't want to "mess it
up"... I usually use variable++ for increments.
