PHP Counter to an XML file

[Brad_Armitage]

I have a PHP counter on my website and it writes the count to a text file as it incraments, but it also writes the visiting person's IP to another text file. I want to be able to write the IP's to an XML file, anyone know how I could edit my script to do that? Here's a copy of my current script (counter.php)

PHP: Select all

<?php 

session_start();     

session_register('counter');        

$CountFile = "txtfolder/counter.txt";     

$Count = file($CountFile);     

$Count = implode("", $Count);     

if(!$_SESSION['counter']){     

$_SESSION['counter'] = true; 

$OpenFile = fopen($CountFile, "r+");     

$Count++;     

$user_ip = GetHostByName($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);     

$banned = array('24.000.00.00', '142.00.00.00');     

if (!in_array($user_ip, $banned)) {     

  if($OpenFile){     

  fwrite($OpenFile, $Count);     

  fclose($OpenFile);     

  }       

}     

if (isset ($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'])) { 

   $user_ip = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']; 

} else { 

   $user_ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; 

} 

$string = file_get_contents('txtfolder/ipaddresses.txt'); 

$pos = strpos($string , $user_ip); 

$ip_file = "txtfolder/ipaddresses.txt"; 

$ip = fopen($ip_file, "a+"); 

if ($pos === false) { 

    fwrite($ip, "$user_ip\n");     

    fclose($ip); 

} 

}    

?>

This is kinda what I wanted it to look like:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.1"?>

<iplist>
    <ipaddresses>
        <ip address="000.000.000.000">
        <ip address="999.999.999.999">
    </ipaddresses>
</iplist>

I was hoping to add other values to the ip field later like:

browser="IE"
referer="google.com"

but those are another issue for a later date, unless anyone can suggest a way to do that aswell

Thanks!
