Get IP with php contact form

[cheekykid]

I've got a contact form on my website which doesn't show the IP of the user who sents a message as it used to. What code i need to insert for that? Remember am a n00b.

This is the code i have:

<?
//Destination Email ID
$to = "[e-mail]";
//Name of the Person
$name = addslashes($_POST['author']);

$phone = addslashes($_POST['url']);

//Email Id of the person
$email = addslashes($_POST['email']);

$comment = addslashes($_POST['comment']);

//Feedback detail
//$feedbacknew = $_GET['feedback'];

//Subject line of the email
$subject = "Wave"." "."$email";

$matter = '<div style=" width: 500px; padding: 20px; border: 5px solid #017ac1;">
<div><b>Name</b> : '.$name .'</div>
<div><b>Contact</b> : '.$phone.'</div>
<div><b>Email</b> : '.$email.'</div>
<div><b>Comments</b> : '.$comment.'</div>
</div>';

/******** Email body *************/
/
$matter = "Below are the details filled by"." "."$namenew"."\n\n".

"Name:"." "."$name"."\n\n".
"Email:"." "."$email"."\n\n".
"Contact No:"." "."$contactno"."\n\n".
"Comment:".$comment ;
/

/*******************************************/

// To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set
$headers = 'From: '.$email."\r\n";
$headers .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
// Additional headers

mail("$to", "$subject","$matter","$headers");

header("location:thanks.htm");
exit;

?>

$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

should i place this code somewhere in particular?

Also all emails from this form come in a blue box. Is there something in the code that draws this box?

Cheers!

well, change it to this:

<div><b>Comments</b> : '.$comment.'</div>
<div><b>IP Adress</b> : '.$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'].'</div>

and this looks like it draws the border:

$matter = '<div style=" width: 500px; padding: 20px; border: 5px solid #017ac1;">

is it safe to remove the code for the damn border?

I should clarify that i want the ip of the user to be visible in the email sent to me not on the website. Thanks

(1) I personally prefer to not send html emails... so I'd strip all that html stuff out anyway... you can remove that border... just try it out

(2) the ip of the visitor is not being shown on the website - just in the email if you applied those changes

To

$matter = '<div style=" width: 500px; padding: 20px;">

Dont remove the entire line 😉

Many thanks,

Lastly any idea which settings determine the minimum amount of letters/numbers each field can have?
