record ip address to file

[teampunishment]

Is it possible to record the ip address of visitors to a site and store the ip address to file in a secure directory?

thank you in advance.

I would think your web server already logs this info. Might be better to parse the log file, rather than to keep a redundant server log.

But sure, you can do it. You can get peoples IP from this superglobal

$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]

Then, just wite it to a file outside of web root. That would prevent web access to the log file.

You could even include this logger transparently with a little edit of your php.ini file.
