I want to keep ips from visitors and place them on a file.
I tried fwrite() function but I think it is rewrite on the previus ip on file.
Example.
ip.txt is empty.
when I run the write.php Script, on ip.txt I have x.x.x.x ip (my ip)
If My friend runs the write.php Script, on ip.txt I have a.a.a.a ip (friend's ip only)
where is my ip?
I want to have on ip.txt file the following:
x.x.x.x ip1
a.a.a.a ip2
Code on write.php is the following.
<?php
$file = fopen("ip.txt","w");
$ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
echo fwrite($file,$ip);
fclose($file);
?>
<?php
$file = fopen("ip.txt","a");
$ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
echo fwrite($file,$ip);
fclose($file);
?>
Look at the manual
Check what the 2nd parameter means.
Youve chosen w mode which is an overrwrite mode. Try a mode instead (append)
Change "w" to "a"
W means write (over), a means append.
The 'advantage' of the database version is that no one can view
the data. If neccesary, you can avoid access to the file by using a .htaccess file:
For apache 2.2
# Protect log.txt
<Files ./inscription/log.txt>
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from all
</Files>
For apache 2.4
# Protect log.txt
<Files ./inscription/log.txt>
Require all denied
</Files>
