You can't track visitors by IP. A visitor's IP can change at any time,
and it is very possible to have multiple visitors from the same IP
address (i.e. even at my home we have 5 computers but only 1 IP
address). An IP is valid for one conversation (i.e. a page request with
all of it's images) but nothing more.

If you're having problems with code you download, the first thing to do
is ask the author of the code. And don't expect to be able to just
download code and insert it into your page(s). With ANY programming
language, you need to understand the code to use it properly. This is
especially true with PHP.

Nothing in this code is very complicated. Have you even tried to
understand it?

But if you insist on going down this dead-end path, you need to tell us
WHY it doesn't work.

And BTW - if I WERE to insist on trying to do this (which I wouldn't),
I'd use a SQL database to store the information. Much better.

What you REALLY should do is get a decent log analyzer for your web
server logs. It will tell you what you're looking for and a lot more.
