Adding up numbers in .txt file

[graham23s]

Hi Guys,

 

What i am thinking of doing is storing unique ip addresses that visit my site in a .txt file on server, only when a new ip address is found i add that to the .txt file, when a new ip is found i assign a random number between 80 and 750 so the .txt file would look something like:

 

xx.xxx.xxx.xxx|567

xx.xxx.xxx.xxx|489

 

i can do that but i'm not sure how to loop and add all the values on the right hand side, any help would be appreciated.

 

thanks guys

 

Graham

Read file. That will return an array. That array has length equal to the number of lines in your text file. Each entry is a line in the file. So you can loop through it and just add the number at the end.

 

Does that make sense? Give it a try. It's not as hard as I made it to be. The link to file has great examples already.

function santas_little_helper2($value) {
    return $value . '|' . mt_rand(80, 750);
}

// converts
// xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
// xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
// xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
// into
// xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx|123
// xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx|456
// xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx|749
file_put_contents('path/to/ip/file.txt', implode(PHP_EOL, array_map('santas_little_helper2', file('path/to/ip/file.txt', FILE_SKIP_EMPTY_LINES | FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES));

 

Afterwards read out the ip-addresses with:

 

function santas_little_helper($value) {
    return explode('|', $value);
}

$data = array_map('santas_little_helper', file('path/to/ip/file.txt', FILE_SKIP_EMPTY_LINES | FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES));
//$data[0] = array ( [0] => xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, [1] => 567 )
