IP Address

[jackohara]

What would be the correct, and most efficient way of collecting somebody's IP address so I can store it in the log files on my site?

[jackohara]

don't worry, got it

$ip_address = $REMOTE_ADDR;

You could also use:

if(getenv(HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR)){
$ip = getenv(HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR);
}
else{
$ip = getenv(REMOTE_ADDR);
}

Hope this helps.
