I want to know if there is a function that I can know the IP of a user.

For HTTP_REFERER, I can get the URL from the user such as www.sony.com.

BUT is there any way I can also know the IP of that?

thanks.

    thanks, and I am using PHP 3, while I try the following at the very beginning of the page, it does not show anyting, do you know why?

    $getIP = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["REMOTE_ADDR"];
    $getREF = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_REFERER'];
    $getAGT = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];

    echo "IP is ".$getIP."<BR>";
    echo "HTTP REF is ".$getREF."<BR>";
    echo "USER AGENT is ".$getAGT."<BR>";

      Have you tried using a single quote instead of a double quote?

      $getIP = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REMOTE_ADDR'];

        I'm sure you mean, "it shows the variable as NULL ...", IOW, it sez: "IP is" ...

        I'd look into the single quote suggestion. I'd also note that the manual suggests that not every webserver knows all these variables, although a great many of them are in the CGI 1.1 spec and should be known values ...
