Loggin IP Addresses

I have been trying to find the solution to my problem but have not found where to start. My problem is I need to log the current visitors visit to the home page, including time/date stamp and their IP address. The logging needs to be done to a text file on the server.

I have no idea where to start and although my knowledge of PHP is VERY limited i know that once I have a starting point I will be able customize the code to my needs.

RE: Loggin IP Addresses

well i spose the best solution would be to RTFM!

you can download the manual from www.php.net which will have all the required info. To write to a text file, you use fread, fopen fputs..look up those, for IP you use the variable $REMOTE_ADDR...

hope that was substantial pointing

RE: Loggin IP Addresses

you'd want something like the following: (i have not tested this)

php Code:

Original - php Code
$fo = fopen('log.txt', 'a'); $date = date("d/m/y G.i:s", time()); fputs($fo, "$date - $REMOTE_ADDRn"); fclose($fo);

 
$fo = fopen('log.txt', 'a');
$date = date("d/m/y G.i:s", time());
fputs($fo, "$date - $REMOTE_ADDRn");
fclose($fo);

You will need to create a text file called log.txt in the same dir as the script, and if on linux, it will need CHMOD 777.
