In the first script you are trying to call another script. I would jus include the
counter script at that place and have the counter script output the code needed or
have a function in the included script return the output you need.
it would look like this:
<html>
<body>
<?php
include "counter.php";
echo "You are the " . counter_func("XXX", "X") . " visitor";
?>
</body>
</html>
counter.php would look like this:
<?php
function counter_func($App, $Trailer="")
{
// Do the counting stuff
return $theresult;
}
?>
In this function the $Trailer is made optional with a default value of an empty string.
