get ip

[Scud]

hey, im making a quick site that uses php. i basically need to know how to get my php script to get the ip address of the user and then dump it in my database. basically because its a private site, so i need to make sure that all the data entered in the database has been entered by one other person only. so using ip's to check whether it was the same computer is what i need to do! anyideas?

to get ip address use

 

$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
