Unique Visitor Counter?

I have found a script that will allow me to display the number of unique visitors, but there seems to be a problem. It counts me three times before it stops. I am not good in PHP, but i tried to figure out the problem, but could not. Is there something wrong in my code? Is there another better, easier way to do this?

<?php

$filename = "UniqueCount.txt";

if (!file_exists($filename))
{
// hits.txt doesn't exist, let's try to create it.
$fd = fopen($filename, "w+");
fclose($fd);
}

$file = file($filename);
$file = array_unique($file);
$hits = count($file);

// Print out the number of unique visitors we have had.
echo $hits;

$fd = fopen($filename, "r");
$fstring = fread($fd, filesize($filename));
fclose($fd);

$fd = fopen($filename, "w");
$fcounted = $fstring . "
" . $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"];
$fout = fwrite($fd, $fcounted);
fclose($fd);

?>

To boot, when it creates the file. I get and error, saying

0 Warning: fread() [function.fread]: Length parameter must be greater than 0 in /home/content/46/10721146/html/UniqueHits.php on line 20

Thanks in advance,

there is easier and more perfect way you have to store data in database its good and more accessible

create two table

CREATE TABLE `pageview` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`page` text NOT NULL,
`userip` text NOT NULL,
 PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=2 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1

// totalview

CREATE TABLE `totalview` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`page` text NOT NULL,
`totalvisit` text NOT NULL,
 PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=2 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1

the insert and update tables

$check_ip = mysql_query("select userip from pageview where page='yourpage' and userip='$user_ip'");
if(mysql_num_rows($check_ip)>=1)
{

}
else
{
  $insertview = mysql_query("insert into pageview values('','yourpage','$user_ip')");

  $updateview = mysql_query("update totalview set totalvisit = totalvisit+1 where page='yourpage' ");
}
