Logging Visitor’s IP

swiss123

Hi All,

I'm new to the PHP Builder and i'm hoping someone can help me.

Basically I have a website and want to record some of my visitors details for potential marketing purposes I found an example script online from ...

However when I try and test this (see attachment) it does not function.
PHP is enabled on the server as I have PHP feedback forms already running which are working fine.

When I open the log file in notepadd++ it does not appear to highlight, i'm worried why its not recognising it as PHP. I double checked and wrote some PHP on a new page and it worked fine so i'm a bit confused as to what to do. Can anyone please help, i'm sure its something ridiculous i'm not seeing.

Thank you for your time

It doesn't work, I've tested it thats my point ..... and whats isse?

I've attached the files in a zip file to this post. I'm confused at what your asking?

Just to re-iterate,

when i was saying that i wrote some other PHP code and it worked i meant that i wrote some PHP script to simply test if it was highlighting the PHP within notepad ++ which it is.

However for the file "Class.Logging.Log" used to capture the data and export it to the text file in the Logging directory I have setup it does not.

This worries me as i'm concerned its not reading the file correctly, i'm a bit confused as to what the issue is here.

Can you please post the PHP code that you're using to record the IPs?

Be sure to use the board's [noparse]

[/noparse] tags. 😉

can you post the code

Hi Sure,

FYI I have saved the files in a zip file attached to this post

Code in html page before closing body tag

<?php
require_once 'Class.Logging.php';
$msg = "this is another message ";
$from = $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] ;
$remaddr = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$log = new log();
$log->userIP($remaddr , $msg , $from);
?>

Code In Logging File

//file Class.Logging.php
Class log {

const USER_ERROR_DIR = "Logging/Site_User_errors.log";
  /*
   Record IP and optionally a message ...
  */
    public function userIP($ip, $msg="No msg", $from="No File-info") {
    $date = date('d.m.Y h:i:s');
    $log = " Date: ".$date." |User's IP : ".$ip." |Message : ".$msg." |File : ".$from."\n";
    error_log($log, 3, self::USER_ERROR_DIR);
    }
/*
   Record only a message ...
  */
	 public function msg($msg) {
    $date = date('d.m.Y h:i:s');
    $log = " Date:  ".$date." |Message : ".$msg."\n";
    error_log($log, 3, self::USER_ERROR_DIR);
    }

}
