What suggestions were given by other forum users to fix the counter script issue?

The issue with the counter script was that it was not properly incrementing the count variable. One suggestion given by forum users to fix this issue was to use the pre-increment operator (++$count) instead of the post-increment operator ($count++). This ensures that the count variable is incremented before being displayed.

// Fix for counter script using pre-increment operator
$count = 0;
$count++;
echo "Count: " . $count;
