[SOLVED] Newbie looking for help before I pull out my hair

[deadline]

Hello all, I am a newbie to php and I am trying to get something that I am sure is simple to work. Think that I am too close to the fire or just simply over thinking the solution.

 

K here is the problem that I am needing help with. I have a web form with java that I need to capture the ip address of the person who is filling out the form. I have scoured the web and think that I am simply missing what is right in front of my eyes. Here are the scripts that I am working with.

 

PHP part:

 

<?php

 

if ( !isset($_SERVER['SPI'])) {

        die();

}

 

if (!isset($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'])) {

echo("CRITICAL: we seem to be running outside of the norm.\n");

header("Location: http://".$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]."/");

die("CRITICAL: Document root unavailable.\n");

}

 

$request_method = $_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"];

if($request_method == "GET") {

$query_vars = $_GET;

}

elseif ($request_method == "POST") {

$query_vars = $_POST;

}

reset($query_vars);

 

function customsort($a,$b) {

// $a is array for form vars, $b is comma seperated case sensitive field order

// this is case sensitive -- good idea to hrc that.

        $data = array();

        if ( strstr($b,',') == FALSE )  {

                $b = $b.",";

        }

        $ordering = split(',',$b);

        foreach ($ordering as $orderitem) {

                if ( ($orderitem != null) && ($orderitem != "") ) {

                        if (isset($a[$orderitem])) {

                                $data[$orderitem] = $a[$orderitem];

                        }

                }

        }

        foreach ($a as $key=>$val) {

                $data[$key] = $a[$key];

        }

        return $data;

}

 

function xmlentities($string) {

return str_replace ( array('&', '"', "'", '<', '>'), array('&', '"', ''', '<', '>'), $string);

}

 

$t = date("U");

 

$logged_string = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] . "|" . date("j M Y g:i a");

Sorry for the long post but any help would be great. Thanks!

[mikesta707]

if you want the IP address of the client just use

$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

[deadline]

So just add the  $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];  to the php part. What do i need to do the call it in the form?

[deadline]

Also I need to remove this correct:

 

$logged_string = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] . "|" . date("j M Y g:i a");

$file = fopen("userIP.log", "a");

fputs($file, $logged_string, strlen($logged_string));

fclose($file);

[Dorky]

$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; <input type='hidden' name='whatever' value='$ip' />

[deadline]

thanks will try that and post results, thanks for the replies

 

[deadline]

K tried that, just getting $ip in email from form. Can you tell me where I need to place the $ip line in the php script? Thanks.

 

Form email message:

Name: ip 23

Domain1: Agree

Privacy1: Verify

User_IP: $ip

Submit: Enter Portal

 

this is what I have now.

[gerkintrigg]

try

value='<?php echo $ip;?>'

[mrMarcus]

i don't see your mail() function anywhere.

 

and please don't post ALL your code again, it's too much to handle.

 

but please explain very explicitly, what it is you're trying to do, ie: "i would like to have a form where when submitted, the information from that form is then emailed to a specified email account."

[deadline]

trying that now, and sorry for posting entire code. Will remember that next time

[deadline]

no dice this is what I get

 

User_IP: <?php echo $ip;?>

 

Think that I have the $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; coding in the wrong place.

 

 

[mikesta707]

alright, well im not gonna trod through all your mass of code, so post the relevant code in code or php tags so I can take a look.

[deadline]

k then lets try it like this, do i need to place $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; in a "if" statement?

[mikesta707]

that wouldn't really make sense? what would your condition be?

 

just post the code where you set the variable and send the email

[deadline]

that is what I am saying where do i set the variable, in the form only, or also in the php script?

[Gayner]

USE [code TAGS PLZ SIR. THANKS!

[deadline]

Went back to the drawing board and rewrote the php script, all working now  , thanks everyone for the help, learned from it. Below is the final WORKING php just in case anyone else may need it.

 

<?
