Can someone please help me with this script. I get nerror:         Parse error: parse error, expecting ``,`` or ``;`` in /home/www/projects/header.php on line 21 which is: 
$fp     = fopen($counterFile,rw);
I do have the file counter.txt, as -rw-rw-rw
But it doesn`t seem to read the file, I even included the whole path to the file. Can someone please tell me why?
