PHP ip logger

[kloaknet]

Hi there!

i want to incorporate this script in my web page:

<?php

$v_ip = $REMOTE_ADDR;
$v_date = date("l d F H:i:s");

$fp = fopen("ips.txt", "a");
fputs($fp, "IP: $v_ip - DATE: $v_date\n\n");
fclose($fp);

?>

the rights i gave to the ips.txt file is 777 so that shouldn't be the problem, but it is not working. Are some php funtions blocked?

The output is wrong, i.e. no IP address... (I had to test it myself to check -- it is helpful to say exactly WHAT isn't working when you are requesting help -- it saves a lot of time...)

As I said I just tested it myself: the problem is you can't get an IP address using:

$REMOTE_ADDR

instead use:

$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']

Here's a good link for getting user and request data, in case you need it.

Register globals are off

To get ip address you have to use $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

Why don't you use mysql table to store that is good option.

EDIT:
ah-blabla you beat me.
