Flash Hit Counter with PHP

I am a newbie to flash and don,t know anything about PHP. I am trying to use
the hit counter on this site…named (Hit counter in flash using PHP)by syko.
I have the flash movie made and placed in on my index page using dreamweaver.
also made the text file named count.txt and the PHP file named counter.
I uploaded all three files to the server. Am i way off base? has anyone used this counter ? Can anyone help ? I see the counter but get no count.
Thanks Starguy
