FIXED!!!
My problem was in the portion of code you place in the top of your
HTML template.
This is how the script is now, and the counts are working.
If you have problems copy/pasting this from this page, email me and
I'll send you the code in a .txt file.
<?
function commentCount($n) {
// set the same values from comments.php
$bannedIP = array("200.206.239.236","200.18.97.113");
$banIPMode = "0";
$comments_path = "";
// Don't edit from this point
if($file = @fopen($comments_path . "comments/$n.comment", 'r')) {
$thisFile = fread($file, '1000000');
$thisFile = explode("\n", trim($thisFile));
fclose($file);
$comments = sizeof($thisFile);
if($banIPMode)
for($i = 0; $i < sizeof($thisFile); $i++) {
$thisComment = explode('[+]', $thisFile[$i]);
if($thisComment[6] || $banIPMode != 4 &&
in_array($thisComment[5], $bannedIP)) $comments--;
}
if($comments == 1) {$comments .= " comment";} else {$comments .= "
comments";}
} else
$comments = "0 comments";
return $comments;
}
?>
(put this above your <head> tag, at the very top of your html
document)
