how do i get an IP address from a visitor?

[Nxt]

Hey!

 

Okay, I made this basic script that was support to obtain the visitor's IP address. I thought if you did this it would:

 

$ip = $_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'];

 

 

I have it echo it out.

 

echo("Hello, user-you're IP is :".$ip);

 

 

however it displays:

Hello, User-you're IP is:

 

and nothing else after that. What am I doing that?

 

Help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

$IP = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
echo("Hello user your IP is: $IP");

as FearSoldier states, but you can see all the server (or other) vars by doing something like this (useful if you don't have the docs):

while (list($k, $v) = each($_SERVER))
{
print "'".$k."' => '".$v."' <br>";
}

$IP = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
echo("Hello user your IP is: $IP");

 

This will work, the reason why yours dident work is because of the period before $ip.

The period indicates continuation in the string, no?

The period was ok, but i'm assuming that 'HTTP_CLIENT_IP' is from the old deprecated $HTTP_SERVER_VARS, now replaced by $_SERVER, see
