Quick Code Request

[uk_viper]

Right designing a site and need to create a form on it, it needs a script where when the form is submitted it will also submit the ip address it was sent from,

Thanks in advance

With which language? What else is on the form? Where is it being submitted to?

$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']

will give you the user's IP in PHP, as a start.

If doing in PHP:

$IP = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"];
$proxy = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["REMOTE_ADDR"];
$host = @gethostbyaddr($HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"]);

You'll get something that will look like this...

313.88.1.99 <--IP addy of user.
62.31.224.1 <--IP addy of server.
313-88-1-99.bas.cvx.blueyonder.co.uk <-- Users host addy.

The host address will look slightly different depending on the ISP/server.

eg.
cache01.drkw.com
cache-mtc-ak02.proxy.aol.com
furness-gw.phila.k12.pa.us
194.238.179.180

This is assuming you already have the form in place?

be warned.. any and all info from the client can be spoofed or omitted with relative ease. i.e. don't rely on it.
