Logging ips on a website - belgarrion - 07-11-2013

Is there a script of function that i can add to my site that will log the IP address of anyone who lands on that site.

I am a admin of a forum on proboards. The old version of proboards had a feature that did this automatically so you could look it over later and see who was looking at your forum. They just upgraded to version 5 and now you can only see the ips of those on at the time you look. Is there a way i can add this for her???

Do you have access to the server too?

Just add this to your index.php :

PHP Code:
<?php
$handler = fopen("iplog.txt","a");
fwriite($handler,$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']."\n");
fclose($handler);
?>

Whoever visits your website's index.php, that person's IP address gets stored in a TXT file named iplogs.txt in the same folder. You may add the code for other files too.

Thanks for the help. However i do not have access to the folder to access the txt file. Is there a way to have it email to someone every 12 hours or .... i need a easy way to access it for her. a link i can add something simple for her.
