<?php ?> Unique Visitors Script Flat file unique visitors script (no sessions)

[matak 2]

This is really simple script. Well at least this part is, but it could be extendable. Only problem is that it's not really for massive websites with hundread of visitors a day, but rather for small ones. But it is a good script to figure out how to make a visitor counter script.

Anyway here's the snippet.

<?phpfunction getVisits($variable) {	$visits = array();	if ($handle = opendir('stats/')) {	while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {		if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {			array_push($visits, $file);		}	}	closedir($handle);	}	$key = array_search($variable, $visits);		if ($key !== FALSE) {				echo "Posjeta do sada: ".count($visits);			}	elseif ($key === FALSE){		$file = fopen("stats/".$variable, 'a');		fwrite($file, $variable);		fclose($file);			getVisits($variable);	}}?>

Just call it with getVisits($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'])., and be sure to have that stats directory in same root as file in which script is executed.

Comments or improvments are welcome.

Good work! Looks pretty good to me. I might use this but maybe use MySql instead of flat files. I just like SQL

Ok, fast reply works again :PYeah, mySQL is great, this is like i stated for small sites with less than 10(0) visitors a day . I'm extending the script so it saves in directories based on a date value, and stuff like that, so that later i don't have like millions of files.
