IP Count?

[krissosa]

Hey everybody.. Im new and dont know anything about PHP.. but would it be possible for anyone in here to add in the coding to make each visit from a certain IP count only as 1 instead of each individual hit...

HERES THE CODE:

<?php
//this is our text file if you create a different named file change the script below to reflect this
$counter_file = ("counter.txt");
//now we open the file
$visits = file($counter_file);
//this increments the counter value by 1
$visits[0]++;
//now we will open the counter file for writing "w"
$fp = fopen($counter_file , "w");
//put the new count value into the counter file
fputs($fp , "$visits[0]");
//close the file
fclose($fp);
//display the count
echo "There have been $visits[0] visitors so far";
?>

Anyone who could help me out or tell me where to get what im looking for would be greatly appreciated..

This should work:

// set the file and open mode
$file = "counter.txt";
$mode = "r+";
if (strpos($_ENV["OS"], "Windows_NT") !== false) $mode .= "b";

// create the file if it doesn't exists
if (!file_exists($file))
{
	$temp_handle = fopen($file, "a");
	fclose($temp_handle);	
}

// create the file handle
$handle = fopen($file, $mode);

// read the file into an array
$file_contents = file($file);

if (filesize($file) > 0)
{
	// clean up the contents of the file
	foreach ($file_contents as $line)
	{
		// filter out all whitespaces
		$clean_line = trim($line);
		if (strlen($clean_line) > 0)
			$new_contents[] = $clean_line;
	}

// clear the file
ftruncate($handle, 0);

// filter out duplicate addresses from the array
// before writing to file
@array_unique($new_contents);

// write the new contents to file	
foreach ($new_contents as $line)
	fwrite($handle, "$line\r\n");
}

// append the new address to the file if it doesn't already exist
if (@!in_array($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], $new_contents))
	fwrite($handle, "{$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']}\r\n");

// detroy the file handle
fclose($handle);

Sorry if it's sloppy, but it's late...and I'm tired.

Or when you want it in a database:

create a table like so:

table name: bl_counter

id bigint(21) auto_increment
ip varchar(40)
timer bigint(21)
hits (bigint(21)
PRIMARY KEY(id)

and use this code:

$s=$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"];
$unixtime=date("U");

$selectvisits="SELECT * FROM bl_counter WHERE ip='$s'";$selectvisits2=mysql_query($selectvisits) or die("Could not select Unique hits");
$selectvisits3=mysql_fetch_array($selectvisits2);
if(!$selectvisits3) {
    $insertvisit="INSERT INTO bl_counter (ip, timer) VALUES ('$s','$unixtime')";
    mysql_query($insertvisit) or die("Could not insert IP");
} else {
    if($selectvisits3[timer]<=$unixtime-3600) {
        $newhits=$selectvisits3[hits]+1;
        $updatevisit="UPDATE bl_counter SET timer='$unixtime', hits='$newhits' WHERE id='$selectvisits3[id]'";
    } else {
        $updatevisit="UPDATE bl_counter SET timer='$unixtime' WHERE id='$selectvisits3[id]'";
    }
    mysql_query($updatevisit) or die("Could not update hits");
}

$getnumbervisits="SELECT * FROM bl_counter";
$getnumbervisits2=mysql_query($getnumbervisits) or die("Could not grab current visitors");
$getnumbervisits3=mysql_num_rows($getnumbervisits2);

print "<br>$getnumbervisits3 unique visits ever";
