but ...
// WORKS FOR ME
$hostname = gethostbyaddr($REMOTE_ADDR);
// DOES NOT WORK FOR ME ==> EMPTY
$ip = $REMOTE_ADDR;
// DOES NOT WORK FOR ME
$port = $REMOTE_PORT;
// BUT
// WORKS FOR ME
$hostname = gethostbyaddr($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
// WORKS FOR ME
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
// DOES NOT WORK FOR ME
$port = $_SERVER['REMOTE_PORT'];

if you don't get any error message you have a remote.txt file on your webserver in the same directory of the php-script
if you call the php script like
www.yourdomain.com/displayip.php
you can show the the remote.txt like
www.yourdomain.com/remote.txt

i got a few error messages....
http://www.yourdomain.com/displayip.php
http://www.scarecrowsflat.com/testsite2/testscript.php
not sure what they mean
that means that you are not allowed to save the file in that directory!
you have to change the rights for the dir 'testsite2'!!
with your ftp client go to properties of the dir and change JUST the WRITE property for 'OTHERS' or 'WORLD' to 'YES'!!
then it should work!!
if you have a db you can alsi log the data to that!

alright the script seems to work now .
no errors
thanks
now how do i get this script to interact with a html webpage so that the info will be pulled from the visitors and saved into that file remote.txt ?
you just have to include this script in that page(s) where you want to log the data!
a good place is the main index-page ( www.scarecrowsflat.com/index.php )!
yep its working now Thank you
$fp = fopen('remote.txt', 'a+');
and to store the remote.txt file into a directory within the dir that contains the html file i do what ?
'/newdir/remote.txt'
something like that ??
yes ... but don't forget to change the dir rights again! ,)
/ is root dir
if you want to save the remote.txt to
http://www.scarecrowsflat.com/testsite2/newdir/remote.txt
newdir/remote.txt
http://www.scarecrowsflat.com/remote.txt
/remote.txt
ok it works on internet explorer
fine and dandy 
on netscape i get this displayed when i access that page
HOSTNAME ==> $hostname"; //echo "
IP ==> $ip
"; //echo "
PORT ==> $port
"; $time = date("Y-m-d H:i:s"); $string = $time . ' ==> ' . 'HOSTNAME: ' . $hostname . '; IP: ' . $ip . '; PORT: ' . $port . "\r\n"; $fp = fopen('remote.txt', 'a+'); $fw = fwrite($fp, $string); $fc = fclose($fp); ?>
the code just displayed on the screen ...
any ide how to fix this ?
hmmm ... that's funny ... no idea why!?
check your script if it is 'well formed'!
<?php
// PHP CODE
?>
<HTML>
<HEAD></HEAD>
<BODY>
<p>some text</p>
</BODY>
</HTML>
maybe netscape needs a perfect site!?

(02) Netscape Communicator 4.78 ==> WORKED
(03) Mozilla 1.0 ==> WORKED
(04) Opera 6.03 ==> WORKED
