        Guys,

        Can any of you php hackers tell me why this simple self-hacked
        counter bomb?

        tia.
$file doesn't look to be set anywhere

if its a web script ( as opposed to cmd line cli) tyhen its probably passed as a POST or GET variable.,

register_globals needs to be on for this variable to be auto set,

if the form is submitted via POST,  change script to:

$directory="./countdir/";
$file=$_POST['file'];
....

if the form is submitted via GET (you'd see the file=variable in the address 
bar),  change script to:

$directory="./countdir/";
$file=$_GET['file'];
....

Of course you want to sanitise this $file variable so that it can't be hacked.
