.dat Stats file

[benson]

I have a script of someone and i want to alter it a bit, but i don't know how to.

What i want:
-I want a count and ip count on my home page.
-I want to show the count on another (certified) page.
-On that page there also must be a list of IP numbers that had been stored.

The script:

<?
//Set Variables

$IPfilePath = "ip_data.dat"; // Path to IP number file
$countFilePath ="count.dat";  //Path to Count file

$overRide = 0;//Toggles IP logging: 0=On 1 =Off

$readErr = "Read error, contact [email][e-mail][/email] for help";
$writeErr = "Write error, contact [email][e-mail][/email] for help";

$hitMessage1 ="Simple hit counter  ";//Text before...
$hitMessage2 =" override = ";//                            and after counter.

//================= No need to change anything after here  ========================

$IPnum = "0.0.0.0"; //Set as a String
$userStatus = 0;

// Get the current IP number ------------------------------
$IPnum = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");

//Get stored IP's from a file --------------------------------

$IPlist = @fopen($IPfilePath, "r")or die($readErr);
$IPdata = fread($IPlist,filesize($IPfilePath));
fclose($IPlist);

//Compare it to the ones stored in ip_data.dat ---

$IParray = explode(" ",$IPdata); //Make array of IPs

// Start comparing IPs

for($ipCount=0;$ipCount<count($IParray);$ipCount++){


if($IPnum != $IParray[$ipCount]){$userStatus = 0;} //New visit by IPnum                       					    	                

elseif($IPnum == $IParray[$ipCount]){$userStatus = 1;}//Been before 


                                                                             }// End for loop
if($overRide == 1){$userStatus = 2;}


// OK it's a new visitor
// Store the IP number in case they ever come back.
// The counter, give it one.	





if($userStatus == 0){                           

                            $IPfile = @fopen($IPfilePath, "a") or die ($writeErr); //  Write the new IP to ip_data.dat
                            @fwrite($IPfile, " $IPnum") or die($writeErr);                         

                            fclose($IPfile);

						$incCount = @fopen($countFilePath, "r") or die ($readErr);
						$theCount = fread($incCount, filesize($countFilePath));
						$theCount++;
						fclose($incCount);

						$incCount = @fopen($countFilePath, "w") or die ($readErr);
						@fwrite($incCount, $theCount) or die ($writeErr);
						fclose($incCount);
						}
//This ones been before leave the counter alone

elseif($userStatus == 1){
                            $incCount = @fopen($countFilePath, "r") or die ($readErr);
							$theCount = fread($incCount, filesize($countFilePath));
							fclose($incCount);
							       }
//Test mode  

elseif($userStatus == 2){
                                  $incCount = @fopen($countFilePath, "r") or die ($readErr);
							$theCount = fread($incCount, filesize($countFilePath));
							$theCount++;
							fclose($incCount);

						$incCount = @fopen($countFilePath, "w") or die ($readErr);
						@fwrite($incCount, $theCount) or die ($writeErr);
						fclose($incCount);
	       }	                                                                      
echo "$hitMessage1 $theCount $hitMessage2";
?>
