Description:
------------
The issue occurs on both PHP4 and PHP5 and on 2 different OS, HPUX 11 and Solaris 10. I have a simple counter that reads a file adds 1 and rewrites the file. After a good bit of frustration I found that there was a missing img src="" in the HTML. It didn't matter where the PHP was whether it preceeded the HTML or was inline, the counter still added 2 each time it was called upon. Of course I have fixed the HTML, however the tie between a missing image and the PHP has me perplexed. The code I have attached has been simplified the situation however the initial code was using includes and the missing image was not easily detected.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
$counterfile="count.txt";
$conn=fopen($counterfile,'r');
$count=trim(fgets($conn));
echo ":".$count.":";
++$count;
fclose($conn);
$conn=fopen($counterfile,'w');
fwrite($conn,$count);
fclose($conn);
echo ":".$count.":";

?>
<html>
<body>
<img src="" >
</body>
</html>


Expected result:
----------------
A missing image with a counter that increments by 1.

Actual result:
--------------
Counter that has incremented by 2 and a missing image.
