Besides of the search bar (which I'm still trying to fix yet) I'd like to add a counter on my webpage. I got an easy PHP counter for which I had to upload a counter.php file and a counter.txt file on my webserver.

They don't say WHERE on my webserver, but I guess it's simply in the main folder.
Then, they say that I have to include a line in my HTML file... a line reading

include("ezcounter.php");

But where do I insert that stuff? Do I have to do it like this?

<html>
<head>

<title>B-L-A-H</title>
</head>

<body >

WEBPAGE CONTENT
include("counter.php");


</body>
</html>

I'm sorry if this sounds a n00b question, but I don't know stuff about PHP (we'll probably only learn that next year at school :()
EDIT: forgot to add: they also tell me I have to CHMOD the text-file to 777 (all rights) I know what CHMOD is, but I have NO IDEA how to CHMOD a file in Windows

Any help will greatly be appreciated :D

Maybe it's ment for a linux server? Not sure if it would do any good, but you could just right click the file and change it in the properties.

You chmod the file in FTP. So first upload the file, then go to properties and chmod it.

PHP files should go in cgi-bin folder (if I'm right).
And make sure to upload PHP in ASCII format. Hope that helps :)

First off, stop thinking linux and windows servers mean different code, they do not so stop it now.

second of all, do it like this....

<?php

include....

?>

<html>
...rest of code here...

Um..

being a linux user you can CHMOD in FTP or in a console - But I've never heard of doing a root mod in Windows. I would like to insure NV is correct, all PHP files gon in the cgi-bin folder, bin-bash in some cases.
