hi i currently have written a script which identifies unique visitors by IP address to deliver real-time web-based queries i have used the following code to resolve through proxy servers: if (getenv(HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR)){ $ip=getenv(HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR); } else { $ip=getenv(REMOTE_ADDR); } unfortunately this doesnt resolve IP addresses through 100% of proxy servers does anybody have better recommendations for uniquely identifying online users for repeated requests to a script? BoB.
cookies or logins...though only logins are 100% guaranteed to make the user uniquely identify him/hereslf
IPs can b hidden, spoofed, or proxied, not all users accept coookies.
