displaying users IP using PHP

delstrange

Does anyone know how to grab the users IP address using PHP?

I found a script that uses javascript and ssi on hotscripts.com, here , but the form has to be on a .shtml file and not a .php file. Right now I have my order form setup on a .php file using the <? $PHP_SELF ?> action so I can check for required fields. If I change the file to a .shtml file, the page is all messed up when you view it online. You see the <? echo $_POST[domain]; ?> and such in all of the text fields and the drop down lists aren't drop down lists anymore, they are just all of the options printed on the page instead.

Can some one help me with this matter?

Thanks

Tried

<?php
echo $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REMOTE_ADDR'];
?>

thanks feldon, that worked for me. But now how do I add it to the email generated from the form?

I tried this but it didn't work:

$body="Order Information:

IP Address:
$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REMOTE_ADDR']

Contact Information:
First Name: $POST[firstName]
Last Name: $POST[lastName]
Street Address: $POST[streetAddress]
Apt: $POST[apt]
City: $POST[city]
State: $POST[state]
Zip: $POST[zipCode]
Country: $POST[country]
Phone: $POST[phone]
Email: $POST[email]
Email Verified: $_POST[verifyEmail]
";
mail ($myemail, $subject, $body, $header);

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

$body="Order Information:

IP Address:
" . $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REMOTE_ADDR'] . "

Contact Information: ...

Thank you NeuX, that worked perfectly.

Now can I ask you one more thing? I have a check box on my form that when you check it and them submit the form, if for some reason, the submission fails because other required fields are left blank, I still want the check box to be checked.

This is what I have:

<?
if ($_POST['AUP_TOS_Accepted']=="yes"){$AUP = "$checked";}
?>

I have radio buttons that do this, but I can't seem to get the checkboxes right.

Can you help?

Thanks

heh, take the $ off the front of checked, and you should be good 😉 You made it a variable when it should be a literal string 🙂

whoops. Thanks, I'll give it it a shot.
