PWR.

|$counter_file = '/tmp/counter.txt';
clearstatcache();
ignore_user_abort(true);    ## prevent refresh from aborting file 
operations and hosing file
if (file_exists($counter_file)) {
   $fh = fopen($counter_file, 'r+');
   while(1) {
     if (flock($fh, LOCK_EX)) {
         #$buffer = chop(fgets($fh, 2));
         $buffer = chop(fread($fh, filesize($counter_file)));
         $buffer++;
         rewind($fh);
         fwrite($fh, $buffer);
         fflush($fh);
         ftruncate($fh, ftell($fh));   
         flock($fh, LOCK_UN);
         break;
     }
   }
}
else {
   $fh = fopen($counter_file, 'w+');
   fwrite($fh, "1");
   $buffer="1";

fclose($fh);
