[FX.php List] Capturing IP for a choice calc

I'm building a solution that contains some copyrighted material on  
our website. We have permission to share the copyrighted material  
with our patrons while they are in one of our building, but not if  
they are accessing the site from outside the building. I'm assuming  
that I need to capture the requesting IP address before the data is  
displayed that basically does the following:

If IP = Our in-house IP range         <!-- We have our own in-house  
network, inside and outside DNS servers, web server, etc. -->
    Show data from field "x"             <!-- This would be actually  
a link that is stored in a FMP field. -->
Else
    Show "We're sorry, but due to copyright restrictions, this  
material is only available in one of our library branches"   <!--  
This would be displayed in place of the data from  field "x" -->
End If

As I am still floundering around using FileMaker Pro with FX.php, I  
would deeply appreciate any help that could point me into the right  
direction to code this.

Mac OS X Server 10.4x, FileMaker Server Advanced 8x, PHP 4.x

Thanks,
Peter
