How i save user’s Informations ??
<?php

$fh = fopen($myFile, ‘a+’) or die(“can’t open file”);
$stringData =”Date:”.date(‘Y-m-d H:i:s’).”<br/>Ip:”.$_SERVER[‘REMOTE_ADDR’].”<br/>Browser:”.$_SERVER[‘HTTP_USER_AGENT’].”<br/>\n” ;
fwrite($fh, $stringData);
fclose($fh);
?>
-Code Descriptions-
$myfile=”countip.mic”; -$myfile is the variable that for “countip.mic”.
fwrite($fh,$stringData); -do that discribe on $fh variable and $stringData .(create countip.mic file and save data).
