IP Address, again

[jackohara]

How would I define the USER'S IP address, for recording log-ins, actions etc..

I tried $REMOTE_ADDR; but it didn't seem to work

It may be that when you tested it you only tried it on your local machine - which for some reason doesn't give the loopback IP (127.0.0.1). Also you can try to access it though the $HTTP_SERVER_VARS array or $_SERVER.

[localhost]

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

The if-else thingy worked, thanx
