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.
