Re: Can I get the IP address from a visitor?

Hi! This is probably the wrong forum. Please redirect me if im out of place. I would like to find out what IP address my visitor uses when visiting a php script page on my domain. This page would contain a form in which the visitor would state his/her message. My goal is to create purchase-orders written on unique files, and to separate them my idea was to baptize files with the IP addresses, which would ive each visitor an unique purchase-order... Any hints to a newbie?

http://uk3.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.server.php 'REMOTE_ADDR' But don't rely on it to be the same each time for a customer. If they are on a shared connection then the ISP may give them a different IP each time they access the internet. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php
