I'm working on a short script to write some information to a text file.

First of all - here's the script.

Code:

$time = time();

        $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

        $refer = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];

        if ($refer == "") { $refer = "No Referrer available."; }

        $write = "||$refer^$ip^$time";

        $filename = "stats.txt";
 

        if($flag == false) { // if the file doesn't exist

                $handle = fopen($filename, 'w') or die("can't open file");

                fwrite($handle, $write);

                fclose($handle);

        } else { //if the file already exists

                //write to file

                $handle = fopen($filename, 'a') or die("can't open file");

                fwrite($handle, $write);

                fclose($handle);

        }

Now, when the script runs, it writes to the file twice and I'm not sure why. Here's a quick faux script.

Gather information -> Does the file already exist? -> (No) Create empty file (Yes) Append gathered information to the end of the file

Can anyone see where this is going wonky? I'm not seeing it here and have a feeling the script is being called twice somehow.
