[SOLVED] oho hit counter unique using mysql

[marksie1988]

hey guys i have been searching the net with no joy. basically i want a hit counter that logs unique hits by ip address and logs it in a mysql table but only once

 

then when the data is logged it displays the number of people who have visited

 

i would prefer not to use cookies if possible e.g. the php could check against the table to see if that ip is there if so then dont log it??

Were not going to write the code for you. Ide suggest you read up on mysql_query and its related functions. Also, you can get an ip through $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDRESS'].

ok i am creating a script myself and i dont know how to say

 

if (ip address == ip address in table){

    exit

}

 

here is what i have

$mp_ip = $_SERVER[REMOTE_ADDR];

if ($mp_ip == ['ip']) {
    exit
}

 

i know that something needs to go before the $mp_ip but i dont know what and i cant figure it out. as its not one ive done before

you need to store the IP's i would also recommend MySQL,
