preg_match("|^{http://(.*?)/|",} $HTTP_REFERER, $match);
echo gethostbyname($match[1]);

What you want is:

$REMOTE_ADDR

For a list of the all env variables and their values, execute the following simple script from the web browser:

<?

phpinfo();

?>

tststs $REMOTE_ADDR is the client IP, $HTTP_REFER is the place the User came from (via Hyperlink)... not quite the same 🙂

Whoops, I did read that wrong ... Rob. D is right, I made a mistake ... ProgrammerMan's approach will give you what you want. Sorry for the confusion.
