found a blog post which tested and working very good

PHP-Hypertext Preprocessor.
PHP is a server side script language.Using php you can create a dynamic websites.
This is the first lesson and on this lesson you will learn how to get visitors ip and save it on your server.(i wil learn you how add this to your blog or any web sites that haven’t php.)
-Display User’s informations-

<?php
$ip = $_SERVER[‘REMOTE_ADDR’];
$hostaddress = gethostbyaddr($ip);
$browser = $_SERVER[‘HTTP_USER_AGENT’];
$referred = $_SERVER[‘HTTP_REFERER’]; // a quirky spelling mistake that stuck in php

print “Display IP address: \n”;
print “$ip \n”;
print “More detailed host address: \n”;
print “$hostaddress \n”;
print “Display browser info: \n”;
print “$browser \n”;
print “Where you came from (if you clicked on a link to get here: \n”;
if ($referred == “”) {
print “Page was directly requested”;
}
else {
print “$referred”;
}
?>
-Code Descriptions-

How i save user’s Informations ??

<?php

$myFile = “countip.mic”;

$fh = fopen($myFile, ‘a+’) or die(“can’t open file”);

$stringData =”Date:”.date(‘Y-m-d H:i:s’).” Ip:”.$_SERVER[‘REMOTE_ADDR’].” Browser:”.$_SERVER[‘HTTP_USER_AGENT’].” \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 $stringData .(create countip.mic file and save data).
fclose($fh);-close the file that we open.
we get the date time to countip file using .date(‘Y-m-d H:i:s).code.

$myFile = “countip.mic”;

$fh = fopen($myFile, ‘a+’) or die(“can’t open file”);

$stringData =Date:”.date(‘Y-m-d H:i:s’).” Ip:”.$_SERVER[‘REMOTE_ADDR’].” Browser:”.$_SERVER[‘HTTP_USER_AGENT’].” \n” ;
