PHP unique hit counter

[nunoabc]

Here's the thing: I want to have a unique hit counter in my page. I found a script but it isn't unique... It stores all IPs from everyone, but if I reload it again, and again, and again it will count. I need a condition to check all IPs and compare to the visitors IP. If it is in the text file then it won't store it, but if isnt there it will store the IP.

<?php
$filename = "hits.txt";

$file = file($filename);
$file = array_unique($file);
$hits = count($file);
echo $hits;

$fd = fopen ($filename , "r");
$fstring = fread ($fd , filesize ($filename));
fclose($fd);
$fd = fopen ($filename , "w");
$fcounted = $fstring."\n".getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");
$fout= fwrite ($fd , $fcounted );
fclose($fd);
?>

I'll pay 200 credits for the PHP script that best fits for me.

Try this code:

<?php
// Unique Hits PHP Script
// ----------- March 2004
// Contact author: uniquehits@sizzly.com

$log = 'hits.log';

$IP = getenv (REMOTE_ADDR);
$add = true;
$hits = 0;

if (!file_exists ($log)) {
    echo "Error: $log does not exist.";
    exit;
}

$h = fopen ($log, 'r');
while (!feof ($h)) {
    $line = fgets ($h, 4096);
    $line = trim ($line);
    if ($line != '')
        $hits++;

    if ($line == $IP)
        $add = false;
}

fclose($h);

if ($add == true) {
    $h = fopen ($log, 'a');
    fwrite($h, "
$IP");
    fclose($h);
    $hits++;
}

echo $hits;
?>

Just include in the file that you want to monitor.
I have tested it and it works.

NOTE: I did not write this script. It came from: http://www.sizzly.com/uniquehits.htm

Thank you, but as you just searched and did not made all the work I'll give you only 50 credits. I think that this is fair enough. 50 credits sent.
