"PHP code to send I.P. address with user form details"

Hi Guys!

I have a good working PHP script at the moment for processing the user form data, and sendind it to my email address.

However, I would like to have an I.P. address to be also sent with the user form details.

Anyone know the php coding for this?

P.S. I already have a working mail it php script, just need to add I.P. function.

Just to add to Eccles comments in case others would like to get this info, which can be useful.

Freeola's own formmail php script can be setup to show the submitters IP address and 'user agent*' details.

Just add the following to your 'form' code:

<input type="hidden" name="env_report" value="yes">

* User agent details give the visitors browser, OS, etc.

The easiest way to get the users IP address is to use the global variable $_SERVER. $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] will get you the IP in most cases. However this won't normally work for proxied or shared connections. You can try this instead
if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'])) {
$ip=$_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'];
} elseif (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'])) {
$ip=$_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
} else {
$ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
}
