Thanx Wes!

That's exactly what I did but it doesn't work...
My external php file is below (this sets a cookie):
<?php
 function counter() {
        $cookie_val = @$_COOKIE["user_ip"];
        $counterfile = "counter";
        $line = @file($conterfile);
        if(!$cookie_val) {
                setcookie("user_ip", "$_SERVER[REMOTE_ADDR]", time()+36000);
                if ($line[0] == NULL) {
                        $line[0] = 0;
                }
                $line[0]++;
                $cf = @fopen($counterfile, "w+");
                fputs($cf, "$line[0]");
                fclose($cf);
        }
        elseif ($cookie_val != "$_SERVER[REMOTE_ADDR]") {
                $line[0]++;
                $cf = @fopen($counterfile, "w+");
                fputs($cf, "$line[0]");
                fclose($cf);
        }
  }
?>

My main (calling) php file is like this:
<?php
  include 'phpfunc.php';
  counter();
?>
<html>
<head></head>
<body></body>
</html>

I get the following warning:
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by
(output started at D:\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\phpfunc.php:26) in
D:\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\phpfunc.php on line 8

I also uncommented "include_path" in php.ini and added the path to my
localhost web server which is "D:\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\" but
nothing changed...

Hope this shows my problem more clearly..

Thanx!
Ben
