Any question like this: "Is there a way to find out X that came in from the user" is almost always answered by adding this to the top of your code: <?php phpinfo();?> Also, be aware that the IP is pretty useless for anything other than entertainment value. It's not unique, it's not stable, it's not reliable, it's not useful for identification nor authentication [*], it's pretty pointless bit of info. [*] Obviously if you control the IP address and it is static, that is a limited exception to this generalization, and you (hopefully) already understood all the above *before* somebody granted you the power to control a public static IP address... :-) -- Some people have a "gift" link here.
