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

[Andy Gaunt]

You may also want to build an array of IP addresses, possibly from a small
table in FMPro or if a small number, you could just create an array in a php
file that you include in your page.

Then you can query the IP (using the code below posted by Dan) and see if it
exists in the array. If it does, display the info, otherwise display your
message.

check this for general information about PHP's predefined variables:

http://us2.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php#reserved.variables.serve
r

in short... you want to use this variable in PHP:
<?php
echo $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
?>
