how to obtain ip from

[Anon]

Hi!

I'm coding a program for my company and I need to log access to the system, How can I obtain the ip user? (computer that conects to my web server)

Thanks for your time.

$ip = $REMOTE_ADDR;
//or, as is in the [f] manual:
$ip = getenv ("REMOTE_ADDR"); // get the ip number of the user

An alternate to getenv is $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

I like to record as much data from the client as possible, so you might want to record other stuff like DNS, user agent, referrer, client's connection port (not usefull unless you have a hacker connecting and you want to see what port he/she's using)... and there are some more. here's the manual page:
