title: log IP with php
body: <p>I found this script online:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php
  
  $v_ip = $REMOTE_ADDR;
  $v_date = date("l d F H:i:s");
  
  $fp = fopen("ips.txt", "a");
  fputs($fp, "IP: $v_ip - DATE: $v_date\n\n");
  fclose($fp);
  
  ?&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Creating the entry works. However, the IP is not displayed. The entries created look like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>IP:  - DATE: Wednesday 09 March 03:36:15
  
  IP:  - DATE: Wednesday 09 March 03:36:41
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What's the problem?</p>
