strchr

[etsted]

this script is supposed to only register a user if he has not been on my website, but this script keep on adding the IP of a person all the time

 

$filref = fopen("tekst.txt", "a");$ip = $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'];$les_fil = fread($filref, filesize("tekst.txt"));if(!strchr($les_fil, $ip) ){ fwrite($filref, $ip);}else{ echo "cannot register more";}

when using a, it sets the pointer to the end of the file.

so fread is always checking at the end of the file.
