rename the text files in numbers, eg. 1,2,3....
 
what i want to do is when the visitor fills out the form and press submit, i want to store the information as a text file, and call it "text1.txt", when the second visitor comes and submit another form, I want the second form to call "text2.txt", and so on.... continues to name it in accending numbers,

PHP Code:
<?php
$dataf = "1.txt";
$file = fopen("$dataf","w");
$write = fwrite($file,"not important text");
fclose($file);
?>
What code do I insert in if i want to rename the $dataf text file in numbers, eg. 1,2,3... in sequence, each time creating a new file with a interger above the last one?

here is what I already got to so far, but there seems to be an error with this, can anyone have a look at this:
PHP Code:
<?php
if(isset($_POST['Submit']))
{
?><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="1" bordercolor="#000000" bgcolor="#333333">
  <tr>
    <td width="432" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><?php
//here is what i wish you to have a look at*************
while (file_exists($filea)) {
    $category = $_POST['category'];
    $filea = "$category/topic.txt";
    $counter_var = 0;
    $counter_var ++;
    $filea = $category."/topic".$counter_var.".txt";

} else {

$topic = $_POST['topic'];
$category = $_POST['category'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$datetime = date("m/d/y h:i a");

$username = $_SESSION['username'];
$bData = @file("log_files/$username.txt"); // collect all data into an array
foreach($bData as $v){list($name,$email,$gender,$birthm,$birthd,$birthy,$location,$modfiytime) = explode("#",$v);}

//word censors
include("censor.txt");
$topic = stripslashes($topic);
$message = stripslashes($message);
$message = ereg_replace("\n", "<BR>\n", $message);

if ($message != "" && $category !="" && $topic !="") {$file = fopen($filea,"a");
$write = fwrite($file,"$topic#$datetime#$name#$message");fclose($file);}
else
{echo"Required field(s) left blank!<br>";}

if($write == TRUE)
{echo"Message successfully pasted!";}
else
{echo"Sorry but there was an error posting your message!";}
?></td>
  </tr>
</table><? }} ?>

Keep a counter a counter file which will keep the track of the last number, using which you can create files in sequence.

can you teach me how to do the ++ thing with the txt file then? I just want a very brief tutorial on the counter thing, thank you so much for replying!

Code: PHP
<?
$counterFile = "counter.txt";

$count = @file($counterFile);
$count = trim(implode("",$count));
$count++

$h = fopen($counterFile,'w');
fwrite($h,$count);
fclose($h);

$h = fopen("file$count.txt",'w');
// put in your data
fclose($h);

?>
