Ok, i added the error_reporting line to both scripts.  No change
from the count.php, and the same output as prev from my script that
tries to pick a random entry from some 70 quotes.  here is what the
randomquote.php scipt output onto the home page:

echo "err-9 line below:\n"; $number-1){ // If ran out of quotes,
start again! $num=0; } if (file_exists($directory.$quotecountfile))
{ $nu = fopen ($directory.$quotecountfile, "w"); fputs($nu,$num); }
else { die("Cant Find $quotecountfile"); } } ?>


Note that i added the echo line just now.  

Having a quote isn't as meaningful as giving users the latest
pagecount.  That still fails without any errors.
