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

[Leo R. Lundgren]

I'm sorry, I haven't followed this thread almost at all, honestly.  
But reading the below quote makes me think that someone is wondering  
whether to use REMOTE_ADDR or HTTP_PC_REMOTE_ADDR.

If so, here's my suggestion:  $remoteHost = (strlen($_SERVER 
['HTTP_PC_REMOTE_ADDR']) ? $_SERVER['HTTP_PC_REMOTE_ADDR'] : $_SERVER 
['REMOTE_ADDR']);

I'm probably so off track here :-)
