php code needed

[REY619]

can someone tell me the php code to know the last page of the visitor, i.e. from where the visitor came?? and writes every info about the visitor in a text file!!??
Can anyone help me?
Thanx.

problem is not very clear. Do you want to track the ip address, time of visit , number of visit etc information of the visitor?

thats very easy. But instead of file u shud use mysql!

well in that case all best hosting comes with softwares like AWStats which doo all this job for u very professionally

also if not, then u still can use Statcounter

Hmm well look at this::

<?php
session_start();
if($_SESSION["logged"] != "yes")
{
$agent = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
$uri = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$ref = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
$visitTime = date("r"); //Example: Thu, 21 Dec 2000 16:01:07 +0200


$logLine = "$visitTime - IP: $ip || User Agent: $agent || Page: $uri || Referrer: $ref\n";
$fp = fopen("visitorLog.txt", "a");
fputs($fp, $entry_line);
fclose($fp);
$_SESSION["logged"] = "yes";
}
?>

According to this code it should write the information about the visitor in the file visitorLog.txt but it doesnt write anything to it. Both this php file visitorLog.txt are in the same directory, and i have chmodded visitorLog.txt to 777 too, but still it is blank...
Does anybody know, where is the error?/ Thanx.

@REY619 you are storing the data in $logLine and writing $entry_line, use same variable at both place.
