I'm trying to get the remote IP address of a user in a (PHP) version and server-software independant way, but am having a few problems. Obviously, I've seen $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REMOTE_ADDR'], but Ive also seen references to $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']. Is there any generic solution to this problem (and if so, what is it?) Cheers -- Alan McFarlane amcfarlane@bigfoot.com ICQ: 20787656
