RE: [PHP] How to get IP address

There is an environment variable for this: $REMOTE_ADDR This will give you the IP address of the person visiting. $REMOTE_HOST will give you the dns name (if it is available) Obviously, $REMOTE_ADDR will only five you the IP address of a proxy server (or NAT router) if one is being used by the client. /Patrick -----Original Message----- From: Hendry Sumilo [mailto:hsumilo@hotmail.com] Sent: 06 December 2000 14:22 To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] How to get IP address Dear everyone I just want to know how to get someone's IP address when they login to our website?
