Re: IP address

> How do you get the IP address of the client? > > Liam Gibbs There's a bunch of standard cgi environment variables that are also available to you when you're not necessarily using the cgi, ie: php apache module. One of them is called REMOTE_ADDR - it contains the ip address of the client (or the real client's proxy if any) To print out the address of the client, you would simply do: <?php echo $REMOTE_ADDR; ?> or to be sure it's coming from the environment: <?php echo getenv("REMOTE_ADDR"); ?> There's a list of some/all of these environment variables here: http://www.php.net/manual/language.variables.predefined.php Another thing you can do to see what information is available to you when developing with php is to make a page with the following in it: <?php phpinfo(); ?> ...and then view it in your web browser - it outputs lots of information. It's a good idea to protect this page from public access though, since it reveals some info about your server that you might not want everyone to know. jason
