PHP IP-logger

[compufreak7]

Hey all, I've written this IP-logger in PHP and posted it already, but the topic is gone now. So for all who want it, here it is, enjoy!

PHP Code:

<?php

/* ip logger by compufreak7 */

//store the IP in a variable
$TheIP = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

//store the visited site in a variable
$RequestedSite = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

//Make the full text for the log, you can modify this
$FullText =  "Users IP: ". $TheIP ."\nVisited location: ".$RequestedSite."\n\n";

//Open the file logs.txt on your server, and append it
$theFile= fopen("logs.txt", "a");

//Write your text in logs.txt ($theFile)
fwrite($theFile, $FullText);

//Close down logs.txt
fclose($theFile);
?>

GREAT JOB. I SUGGEST YOU POSTS IT IN CODEDSCRIPT.COM OR ANY PHP CODES WEBSITES WITH COMPETITION!!!

so you earn prizes!

Nah, actually, this kind of code is quite simple. the only thing you need is to know the variables and write them to a .txt file...

[godkillah]

you should edit it so it wont adds the same results when people browse.
you can do this by reading the file and matching it for the $FullText

[compufreak7]

Ya, I could do that, but I don't really have time to do that now, and people don't really care unless they get giant pages full of the same IP :P
But.. You go ahead

It will not check previous loading and it will safe data every re-loads. After afew days, file will be too long with the too many same informations.

[compufreak7]

That's what I said in my previous post. Please re-read it...

You could also just dump all this stuff in a database. At least that's what I did a while back. (But then I got rid of it as IP logging proved to be useless. I've no need to block anyone. )

I guess I like the idea of a database better because the whole storing things as a text file really has me bummed out on so many levels.

[compufreak7]

Yeah I know that. But storing in a database slows a lot of computers down alot, and this was just a simple script :P
If you really want to track & block IP's, see the countries and more, I recommend google analytics (http://www.google.com/analytics)
