Dear Ollisso, I tried it with FLock() but it still didn't work. This is what I did: [code] $fp = fopen($f, "r"); $count =fgets($fp, 1024); fclose($fp); $fw = fopen($f, "w"); while (!flock($fw, LOCK_EX)) sleep(1); $cnew = $count + 1; $countnew = fputs($fw, $count + 1); flock($fw, LOCK_UN); fclose($fw); [/code] Am I doing anything wrong here?
