hello,
I'm trying to make a profile for AOL Instant Messenger, rather than using their profile feature (as they limit # of characters) it would be an external web page. right now I pass the users screen name as a parameter in variable $user
how can i take this variable (users name) and search for it in a text file, if its found, dont do anything, or maybe increment a # after it (like times they visit) and if its not found, append it to the end of the text file (like a visitor log) ?
thanks in advance
