Question

Is there a simple script or piece of code I can add to my page to keep a log of every visitor, the date and time they hit the page and IP address?
And what would be the best way to do this… javascript, php, something else?

EDIT:

Ouch…

Here is what happened… When I went to my server with FileZilla there were all the domain names (about 20) I have being logged like my domain.com so I found the one I needed and checked the logs but it was mainly search engines.

But I just went back and happened to scroll down to stuff that was out of view and there were all the domain names again with www in front like http://www.mydomain.com and of course the logs in there are huge and have every single bit of info I need.

This happened because I found what I was looking for mydomain.com and of course I stopped looking. I didn’t know or see there was a whole other set out of view… honest mistake.

I am still using that code because it is nice and small, the logs are freakin’ huge and take hours to download and look at.

Answer 1

$line = date('Y-m-d H:i:s') . " - $_SERVER[REMOTE_ADDR]";
file_put_contents('visitors.log', $line . PHP_EOL, FILE_APPEND);

Consider also logging $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] or other interesting information, possibly in a more standard format as outlined by @Day.
