i am going insane

Hi guys,
it may sound stupid that is because you know it but for me it drives me insane. Sometimes I read some tutorials in which their explanations are based on unix. I cannot stop reading them because i choose to study php.
I have a counter code to do the counting of users on my page. Here is it:
<?php
$dfile = "count_data.txt";
if(file_exists($dfile)) {
$inf = fopen($dfile, "r");
$count = fread($inf, 10);
$count = (int)$count;
$count++;
fclose($inf);
$outf = fopen($dfile, "w");
fputs($outf, $count);
fclose($outf); }
else { echo "File, $dfile, not found!"; } ?>
<center>
You are the
<?
echo $count;
$rem = $count % 10;
if (($rem >= 1) && ($rem <= 3)) {
if((($count % 100) >= 11) && (($count % 100) <= 13)) {
echo "th "; }
else {
switch ($rem) {
case (1): { echo "st "; break;}
case (2): { echo "nd "; break;}
case (3): { echo "rd "; break;}
default : { break; }
}
}
}
else { echo "th "; } ?>
visitor since --insert date here-- .
</center>
Now the question is how to use it on the php page and what exactly is the equivalent of this command in windows
chmod 666 public_html/count_data.txt
Thanks

You don't need to CHMOD on windows, but be sure to check that count_data.txt is not set to read only

theres no such thing as chmod in windows.

you have read, write, modify, change, full control.

read and write should satisfy most scripts under windows.

You can use the code:

PHP:

<?PHP
chmod ("file.ext", 755);
?>

Make it give error traping by using this code:

PHP:

<?PHP
if(chmod ("file.ext", 755)){
echo("Ok");
} else {
echo("Not Ok!");
}
?>
