Getting variables out of a .dat file.

[benson]

Hello,
I want to create a counter/IP counter.
I'm able to list the IP numbers and the count in the .dat but i want to get the IP number out of the .dat in a coumn.
I know that this should be done with a while loop but i don't know how.
Anybody help ?

<?php
$IPfilePath = "ip.dat"; // Path to IP number file
$countFilePath ="tel.dat";  //Path to Count file
$readErr = "Foutje, post ff in het forum deze code : 744 (A.U.B met een datum)";
$writeErr = "Foutje, post ff in het forum deze code : 722 (A.U.B met een datum)";
$IPnum = "0.0.0.0"; //Set as a String
$userStatus = 0;
$IPnum = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");
$IPlist = @fopen($IPfilePath, "r")or die($readErr);
$IPdata = fread($IPlist,filesize($IPfilePath));
fclose($IPlist); 
for($ipCount=0;$ipCount<count($IParray);$ipCount++)
{
	if($IPnum != $IParray[$ipCount])
		{
		$userStatus = 0;
		}
}                     					    	                								 
if($userStatus == 0)
{                           

	$IPfile = @fopen($IPfilePath, "a") or die ($writeErr); 
	@fwrite($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);
}

$IPfile = @fopen($IPfilePath, "r") or die ($writeErr); 

fclose($IPfile);

echo "$theCount<br><br>";
while (
?>

Nobody ???

I jast want those Variables under each other.
Like this:

62.234.123.255
63.194.143.123
68.124.113.212
Etc.

As a HTML output.
It saves al the IP adresses

i think an easier way to do this is by using the
file fuction (http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file.php)

// first you read the whole file into an array
$content=file("ip_logger.dat");
//number of ips in your file (assuming that in each line you have an ip)
$ip_number=count($content);
//output the content:
for ($i=0;$i<$ip_number;$i++)
   echo nl2br($content[$i]);
//adding a new ip
$content[$ip_number]=$new_ip;
$ip_number++;
//saving the data to file
$file_pointer=fopen("ip_logger.dat",w);
for ($i=0;$i<$ip_number;$i++)
   fwrite($file_pointer,$content[$i]);
fclose($file_pointer);

or if you don't like this instead of reading your entire file eachtime you add an ip in your file
you can just append the ip at the end of your file (check fopen manul page for that)

Did tryed your code but it was putting al the IP's after each other.
i tryed to alter it but with no succes so i TRYED to make my own code.
Didn't worked though.
Browser went mad.
So the code:

 
<?php
$IPfilePath = "ip.dat"; // Path to IP number file
$countFilePath ="tel.dat";  //Path to Count file
$readErr = "Foutje, post ff in het forum deze code : 744 (A.U.B met een datum)";
$writeErr = "Foutje, post ff in het forum deze code : 722 (A.U.B met een datum)";
$new_ip = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");

$IPlog = @fopen($IPfilePath, "r") or die ($readErr);
$theip = fread($IPlog, filesize($IPfilePath));
$Content = Explode(" ",$theip);
While ($Content != "")
{
echo $content."<br>";
}
fclose($IPlog);

$incCount = @fopen($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($incCount);
echo "$theCount";
?>

jees nobody knows an answer ?
Maybe it's impossible (or i'm just stupid)

Can't really nobody help me ?? ?

I have no idea how a simple things like this can be so difficult :o

The thing is, we need to know what format are you storing your data in.
Is every IP address stored on a separate line?
If it is, you can use:

//add the current IP address to the file
function addIp($file) {
	$fp = fopen($file, "a");
		OR return false;
	fwrite($fp, "\n" . $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
	fclose($fp);
	return true;
}
//check if the current IP is already listed
function checkIp($file) {
	$ip_array = file($file);
	foreach ($ip_array as $ip) {
		if (trim($ip) == $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']) {
			return true;
		}
	}
	return false;
}

Let's see what you need:
1. Check if user's IP is listed -> use checkIp()
2. If it is listed, dont increment counter
3. Else, use addIp(), then increment counter
