I dont know if it works the same way on other OS'es
Full rightn the docroot means browser can open the file as Http://url/counter.txt This is prevented by placing couter.txt
outside the docroot.
Or am I wrong here?

Yes, Jochem's right.
One thing though, Radovan. If your script WRITES TO the file "counter.txt"
then I assume that script's directory must give write permission to the
whole world. That is a very dangerous thing to do. There would be nothing to
stop a hacker from saving arbitrary binary (or PHP) code in that directory,
and hence doing ANYTHING to your server.
A more secure counter could be stored in a mysql database.

I tested that and the counter does not increase when i hit
the refresh button or press enter in the adressbar.
It only increases when i quit the explorer and reopen the same link afterwards. Which is ofcourse a new visit because the session is
distroyed when closing the browser.

Yes, but what if you refresh the page? Or type in the address bar index.php and press enter, i think it will be increased?
