Analytics vs. Log

[riisager]

Hi experts

I have af PHP script there log and count IP adress from all visitors

$ip = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");
$fil = "count.txt";
$f = file($fil);
$antal = count($f);
$yest = time() - 6400;
$o = "0";
$xidag = "f";
$idag = time();
$idag2 = date("Y F d, H:i");
while ($antal > $o) {
$streg = explode(" ", $f[$o]);
if ($ip == $streg[0]) {
$x = "t";
if ($streg[1] > $yest) {
$xidag = "t";
}
}
$o++;
}
if ($xidag == "f") {
$logg = fopen("$fil", "a");
fputs ($logg, "$ip $idag, $idag2\n");
fclose ($logg);
}
$f = file($fil);
$antal = count($f);
if ($x == "t") {
// Hvis man har været der før...
print "Welcome back $antal ";
}
else {
print "Counts $antal ";
}
?>

I do not understand why the script counts over 100 visitors(day) and Google analytics only counts about 10 visitors - offcause some of them are bots, but its not explane all of them

ex.
28/5-2006 - the script counts 177 ip - GA counts 5?

In short, unique IP numbers do not measure unique users.
