[FX.php List] [OFF] Getting visitor's IP

[Jonathan Schwartz]

Bob,

Yup. I went down this path.

Turns out that the PHP command is different depending on...err...the 
PHP version and/or platform?...I think.

I believe the answer lies in what the phpinfo() says for the server being used.

Bottom line, this one worked for me when the others didn't:

$IP = $_SERVER['HTTP_PC_REMOTE_ADDR'];
