logging IP address

[nodoubts2k]

I have a section of my website that allows users to upload files. I would like to have the persons IP logged when they upload a file, as well as the name of the file that they upload.

The upload script is very simple,


Any help would be greatly appreicated.

Also, I dont really know much about mysql or anything. For the logging it could even be in notepad or something.

If you're dealing with text files you want to be pretty careful. In a multi-threaded environment just opening up common text files isn't a great idea. (Granted file upload doesn't happen all that often so you're probably safe). A better solution might be writing logs to your database (if you have one) or checking out the openlog and syslog functions. Of course those would require some configuration to get them to work properly, I don't know how easy or manageable that would be.

I know absolutely nothing about mysql. Is there somewhere that tells me how to do this?

I get the error "Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /homepages/32/d88496332/htdocs/files/upload.php on line 10". I modified the original code so it writes in the main directory,
