Writing to a .txt file

Posted: Sun Dec 14, 2003 1:27 am

Ok, I have created a page that a ban user is redirected to when they try to access the site. Now, what I want to do is log their ip from this page by writing to a .txt .

This is what I have so far and it works as far as telling them the IP has been log as well as showing the IP, but I can't get the script to write to the .txt.

Code:

$log_file = "ip.txt";


  $ip = getenv('REMOTE_ADDR');


  $fp = fopen("$log_file", "a");


  fputs($fp, "$iprn");


  flock($fp, 3);


  fclose($fp);


  PRINT("Your Ip was logged.....$ip");

I CHMODED .txt to 777

What is $iprn?
Try this code. I spruced it up a little Smile

(I haven't tested it though)

Code:




$to = 'YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS';


$subject = 'Logging Failure Notice';


$msg = 'System was unable to write to the banned log file';


$log_file = "ip.txt"; 


  $ip = getenv('REMOTE_ADDR'); 


  $fp = @fopen("$log_file", "a");


  if (!$fp) @mail($to, $subject, "$msg","From: $admin_email_address"); 


  @flock($fp,2);


  if (@fwrite($fp, $iprn))   PRINT("Your Ip was logged.....$ip");


  else @mail($to, $subject, "$msg","From: $admin_email_address"); 


  @flock($fp, 3); 


  @fclose($fp);

LOL! You know what that was? It was the reason the script would not write to the text file! LOL! I used this code for something else and I forgot to change it . It should have been just $ip Laughing

But I think I may use your spruced up version anyway!

Thanks Wink

Well I had to change a few things in your code, but I have it working nicely now. I'm not a script writer, so if you see anything wrong with the way I have change it please tell me.

Working functions are:

Tells the visitor their ip has been logged & shows it to them.
Writes to the .txt or .csv file.
Sends email with the IP within the message.

Code:




$to = 'YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS';


$subject = 'Logging Failure Notice';


$msg = 'System was unable to write to the banned log file';


$log_file = "ip.txt";


$ip = getenv('REMOTE_ADDR');


$fp = @fopen("$log_file", "a");


if (!$fp) @mail($to, $subject, "$msg, $ip","From: $admin_email_address");


      @flock($fp,2);


      if(@fwrite($fp, "$ip, "));


      PRINT("<b>Your IP has been logged.....$ip</b>");


      @mail($to, $subject, "$msg, $ip","From: $admin_email_address");


      @flock($fp, 3);


      @fclose($fp);

I changed this because I was getting parse errors

Code:

else @mail($to, $subject, "$msg","From: $admin_email_address");

if(@fwrite($fp, "$ip, "));

That line no longer makes any sense nor serves any purpose now. If anything, just make it @fwrite($fp, "$ip, ");

Ok if I change that line in any way the script stops writing to the log file. The only way I can change it and it will work, is to change it to

Code:

if(@fputs($fp, "$ip, "));

[/code]

Did you try
if (fwrite($fp, $iprn)) PRINT("Your Ip was logged.....$ip");

Well, tried it, no dice. Smile

The way I have it seems to be the only way it works.

Ok this works

Code:

if(fwrite($fp, "$ip,"))PRINT("<b>Your IP has been logged.....$ip</b>");
