PHP Counter

[CrAz3D]

I'd like to create a simple php counter for my bot.  1 that logs the user's name & how many tiems they've connected.

What I need to know how to do is loop through the database (a .txt file) and see if the username is in it.  If the username IS in the file, it adds to the # that follows their name (increasing the amount of times they've logged on).  If they weren't found, I'd like to add them to the .txt file with a 1 following their name.

Can anyone tell me how to go about this?
Much thanks

This is what I came up with, it seems to work

<?php

$user = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
//$_REQUEST['user'];
$logfile = "list.txt";

$file1 = file($logfile);

$i = 0;
$text="";
$found= "false";
//LINE 10~!

for ($i = 0; $i < count($file1);$i++){
list ($var1, $var2) = explode(" ", $file1[$i]);

if (strstr(strtolower($var2), strtolower($user)))
{
$var1++;
$file1[$i]="$var1 $var2";
$text = $text . $file1[$i];

$found="true";
}
else
{
$text = $text . $file1[$i];
}
$ledit = @fopen($logfile, "r+");
@fwrite($ledit, $text);
@fclose($ledit);
}

if (strstr($found, "false"))
{
$ledit = @fopen($logfile, "a+");
$towrite="
1 $user";
@fwrite($ledit,$towrite);
@fclose($ledit);
}

?>

I found that quite hard to follow and the colors didnt help(Probs cos im tired)/ Maybe it would be easier if you add comments. Seems ok from what I understood.

I wrote one for Networks Craz3d. If you ask him nicely he will like help you :p. Writes to a text file (using mySQL for something as simplistic as this in my opinion is a waste of time) . Stores the file in an two (or three I forget) arrays
file-> name
         channel
         server
         time (or date I forget)

I'm planning on rewriting it (there was a bug causing duplicate entries not to be removed) I think Networks fixed it though.
