Need Help Creating A Points System...

I got the plan all down in my head,i just need help with the php functions since im a newbie lol.

here’s my plan,

User asks me to make them a account and i make a text file with their id. Then they go to a point page where it asks them for their id then redirects to a page, http://mysite.com/points/givepoints.php?id=1. Then it opens and adds a point to their text file using the $_GET['id'] method. Then it redirects to another page saying they got their points.

My problem is i cant even open,read,and close the file;open,write the file + 1,and close it.

I would also protect the url being accessed over by seeing if they came by a certain url.i tryed this code but it wont work for me =\ ,

[code]<?php

echo $_SERVER[‘HTTP_REFERER’]

?>[/code]

can anyone help me out with this?and if i need to explain myself better just say so :slight_smile:

edit: i figured out why it wasnt working,i as putting it in the url bar and not in a link :stuck_out_tongue:

sorry for the double post,but it wont let me edit my post lol.
