PHP and text data

The way you are doing it right now, the only solution that is possible (imo) is to do it in Javascript, unless you are willing to try a different form of putting the content into the log file.

Is it possible to do a php search and if it matches the day, month and year, it displays the entire row(s)

Looks very good

Is it possible to let someone enter the day, month and year

This way you can view various dates

Yes, your going to want to look at $_GET, $_POST and forms.

I tried the following:



I see the input boxes and enter day, month year

When I submit nothing is displayed

Am I missing something

Thanks

I found some little php errors

Once I cleared them up, everything is now working OK

By using a certain date now, I can view only the data for that date which is what I wanted

Thanks for all the suggestions

Thanks Bogey. That if statement did the trick and was quite simple to implement. I will remember this next time I am in the same situation

Again, thanks

Sorry SpooF

I should have thanked you for the IF statement that solved my problems

Between you and Bogey, I believe we came up with a very elegant and simple solution to my problem.

Not only can I view all data but now I can view selected data

Thanks again to both of you

I would appreciate if I could get some more help with this same project I am working on.

In my serialized row data, one of the elements is the IP address

The same IP address could appear in multiple rows if it is a return visitor.
If the IP address appears only in one row, then it is a unique visitor or first time visitor.

I have created an array for my serialized data rows and included an echo statement to check that I can indeed read the IPs in each row as follows:

foreach ($log as $logline) {
$visdata = array (
$logline['0'],
$logline['1'],
$logline['2'],
$logline['3'],
$logline['4'],
$logline['5'],
$logline['6'],
$logline['7'],
$logline['8'],
$logline['9'],
$logline['10'],
$logline['11'],
$logline['12'],
$logline['13'],
$logline['14'],
$logline['15']
);

echo $logline['9'], "<br/>";

}

When I run the script I do indeed see the same IP appearing more than once and unique IPs.

I can count the total number of rows so that I know the total for all the visits, return and unique.

What I would like to get is the following:

1) For the same multiple IPs, I want this to be grouped as one return vistior.
If there are say 7 same Mutiple IPs then this would count as 7 return visitors.
2) The number of unique IPs

I would then end up with something like the following:

Total Visits: 100
Return visits: 40
unique visits: 20

I would appreciate any suggestions

Thanks

I assume $logline['9'] is the IP...


I don't even know if that works or even goes with the $log array... I think this might give an idea to someone... or maybe even you.

The main purpose of this post is the image up top ... and then I decided to put in something...

Hi Bogey

After reading your post, I did in fact get some ideas that worked out for me.

I first declared an IP Address only array called $ip = array()

From my serialized log data, as shown above, I took only the IP address elements and dynamically wrote them to the $ip array with the following:

$ip[]=$logline['9']

So now I had the $ip array with all the IP addresses, duplicates and singles to manipulate.

I then declared a new array that counted the frequency of the IP addresses in the $ip array as follows:

$dataout = array_count_values ($ip)

So now I new exactly how many times an IP(s) was duplicated, return visitors, and how many single IP(s), unique visitors there were.

I then set up a simple counter for the duplicated and single IP values that would increment depending on how many IPs were duplicated and which were not as follows;



Nothing fancy here, but it works like a charm.

Like you said, sometimes you just need someone else to come up with a suggestion and then your flying.

Thanks again
