<?php
$v_ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$v_date = date("l d F H:i:s");
$v_page = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

$fp = fopen("sanuja.com-ip_log.php", "a");
if ($v_ip != "192.168.1.1") {
fputs($fp, "<strong>IP: $v_ip - </strong><strong>PAGE:</strong> $v_page - <strong>DATE:</strong> $v_date - <strong>REFERER:</strong> $u_refn
");
}
fclose($fp);
?>
