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

Wed Mar 1 09:40:51 MST 2006

This is the php I use. I did not write it but found it on the web.

<?php

/*

Gets the users ip address...Last Updated 7.13.04

Usage: Call the function

Return Type: IP

*/

$ip;

function getIP() {

if (getenv("HTTP_CLIENT_IP"))

$ip = getenv("HTTP_CLIENT_IP");

else if(getenv("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"))

$ip = getenv("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR");

else if(getenv("REMOTE_ADDR"))

$ip = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");

else

$ip = "UNKNOWN";

return $ip;

} 

?>

and I call this in a form by 

<input type="hidden" name="ipaddr" value="<?php /* gets ip */ echo getIP(); ?>">

hope this helps...

Thanks Andy and Dan,

This gives me the IP of my server, not the users IP. Is that the way 
it is supposed to be, or am I missing something?
