Place this in a new PHP file:
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
Save as phpinfo.php
Upload it to the server, then use your browser to get it from your
domain:
www.yourdomain.com/phpinfo.php
The page will output the configuration information, if it's a running site,
save the page output and delete phpinfo.php. You can't protect a page with
php easily.
Here's an encoded javascript version of the script that *may* help,
it is reversible though. Place it below your current counter and view
source, then remove the old code if you decide to keep it.
<script type="text/javascript">
