Capturing IP addreess

Recommended Posts

Thanks for your reply.

 

If I add $ip = $_SERVER[REMOTE_ADDR]; to my registration page and add a corresponding field in my database, this will allow me to capture the IP address of the regisrtant? Should the db field be named REMOTE_ADDR ?

Obviously I could use some more information. Any additional enlightening would be appreciated.

You can name it whatever you want, something that's logical.  Remember when you store these values in the database to use these two functions INET_ATON() and INET_NTOA().  One is for inserting the IP and one is for extracting it.  Storing IP's as pure VARCHARs would restrict you in certain functionality.  Good luck.
