mysql query not working...

[pointsplat]

mysql_query("INSERT INTO usersonline (onlinetimestamp,ip,username) VALUES ('$timestamp','".$REMOTE_ADDR."','guest')");

Ok maybe im a little slow this morning but can anyone think of why this code is not working? I simply need to insert that data into a table and everything except for the ip enters correctly (IP is null according to phpmyadmin when I check) its driving me insane!

try echo($REMOTE_ADDR); if nothing is output then I think you may have register globals switched off (a good thing).
You can access it from $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']
Hope this helps

well ain't that a kick in the balls, I literally use $REMOTE_ADDR (in global form) 10 lines up from this one in a different function and it works for the first one but not this one. I tried the $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] and that worked so I guess even though it'll make this function different then the rest im not gonna mess with it if it works 😕
