Here's a quick and dirty option...
FIRST make sure your permissions on the folder you want to write the =
countfile to is either at RWX to all or is owned by the Apache run user =
(PHP by default runs under the Apache Service user).

I ran this in file test.php on my server. Give it a whirl.

<?
$dir =3D "/path/to/stored/counts/";
$dir =3D $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."test/"; //This was to test in "test" =
directory in VHOST root folder.
$file =3D $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].".txt"; //this keeps it from being loaded =
in browser as a php-executable
#$file =3D urlencode($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']).".txt"
	// 	This option if uncommented will make =
/file/path/filename.php?that=3Dthis&five=3D5=20
	//	turn into =
"%2Ffile%2Fpath%2Ffilename.php%3Fthat%3Dthis%26five%3D5". Not pretty but =
functional.

if(!is_file($dir.$file)) {
	$dump =3D fopen($dir.$file, "x+");
	fclose($dump);
}
//Read current value
$fp_read =3D fopen($dir.$file, "r");
$count =3D fread($fp_read, filesize($dir.$file)+1);
fclose($fp_read);

//Convert count to integer
$new_count =3D ((int)$count);
//Increase count by 1
$new_count++;


//Reopen to write new value
$fp =3D fopen($dir.$file, "w+");
fwrite($fp, $new_count);
fclose($fp);

echo "A count was added. It was #".$new_count;
?>
