How to count the number of people online on php

This article describes the method of php to count the number of online users on the website. Share it for your reference. The specific implementation method is as follows:

<?php
function getIpAddress() { // Get the IP address of the current user if (getenv('HTTP_CLIENT_IP')) {
 $ip = getenv('HTTP_CLIENT_IP');
 } elseif (getenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR')) {
 $ip = getenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR');
 } elseif (getenv('REMOTE_ADDR')) {
 $ip = getenv('REMOTE_ADDR');
 } else {
 $ip = $_SERVER['REMOE_ADDR'];
 } 
 return $ip;
} 
function writeover($filename,$data,$method = 'w',$chmod = 0){
 $handle = fopen($filename, $method);
 !handle && die("File opening failed");
 flock($handle, LOCK_EX);
 fwrite($handle, $data);
 flock($handle, LOCK_UN);
 fclose($handle);
 $chmod && @chmod($filename, 0777);
} 
function count_online_num($time, $ip) {
 $fileCount = './';
 $count = 0;
 $gap = 900; //If you don't refresh the page in 15 minutes if (!file_exists($fileCount)) {
 $str = $time . "\t" . $ip . "\r\n";
 writeover($fileCount, $str, 'w', 1);
 $count = 1;
 } else {
 $arr = file($fileCount);
 $flag = 0;
 foreach($arr as $key => $val) {
  $val= trim($val);
  if ($val != "") {
  list($when, $seti) = explode("\t", $val);
  if ($seti ==$ip) {
   $arr[$key] = $time . "\t" . $seti;
   $flag = 1;
  } else {
   $currentTime = time();
   if ($currentTime - $when > 900) {
   unset($arr[$key]);
   }else{
   $arr[$key]=$val;
   }
  } 
  } 
 } 
 if ($flag == 0) {
  array_push($arr, $time . "\t" . $ip);
 } 
 $count = count($arr);
 $str = implode("\r\n", $arr);
 $str.="\r\n";
 writeover($fileCount, $str, 'w', 0);
 unset($arr);
 } 
 return $count;
} 
$time = time();
$ip = getIpAddress();
$online_num = count_online_num($time,$ip);
echo $online_num;
?>
