Is there a function which returns the IP address of the requestor of the current page? --
Don't think so but there is a superglobal that contains it: $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']
.. which can be faked or sometimes not appear or sometimes you could be hiding behind multiple proxies or a modem... so it's not going to be super reliable (neither are the two variables below). See also $_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'] and $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']. -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/
