[Guest johndirk]

hi

 

i made a email form and everything works ok

but i want get the ip address from the visitors on my form.

 

i made variable:

$ip = $_POST['ip'];

 

but i dont know how can i get the ip address?

you would have to do:

 

$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

 

this will give you the clients current ip adress while visiting your site, however do concider the fact that most poeple do not have static IP adresses but dynamic. So if you are concidering doing a validation or auth script based on the client's IP adress alone this could cause a lot of trouble to the users having dynamic adresses.

 

but I assume you are just using it to log the user.
