chrismid259 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Hi, I'm trying to configure my contact form so that the form will capture the ip of the user when they click the submit button. Does anyone know a way of doing this. I've Googled this questions but can't seem to find a response. The php code I have at the moment after the send button has been clicked. <?php if(isset($_POST['email'])) { // CHANGE THE TWO LINES BELOW $email_to = "mail@cmiddletonphotography.co.uk"; $email_subject = "Website email alert!"; function died($error) { // your error code can go here echo "There were error(s) found with the form you submitted. "; echo "These errors appear below.<br /><br />"; echo $error."<br /><br />"; echo "Please go back and fix these errors.<br /><br />"; die(); } // validation expected data exists if(!isset($_POST['first_name']) || !isset($_POST['last_name']) || !isset($_POST['email']) || !isset($_POST['comments'])) { died('We are sorry, but there appears to be a problem with the form you submitted.'); } $first_name = $_POST['first_name']; // required $last_name = $_POST['last_name']; // required $email_from = $_POST['email']; // required $comments = $_POST['comments']; // required $error_message = ""; $email_exp = '/^[A-Za-z0-9._%-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,4}$/'; if(!preg_match($email_exp,$email_from)) { $error_message .= 'The Email Address you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />'; } $string_exp = "/^[A-Za-z .'-]+$/"; if(!preg_match($string_exp,$first_name)) { $error_message .= 'The First Name you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />'; } if(!preg_match($string_exp,$last_name)) { $error_message .= 'The Last Name you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />'; } if(strlen($comments) < 2) { $error_message .= 'The Comments you entered do not appear to be valid.<br />'; } if(strlen($error_message) > 0) { died($error_message); } $email_message = "Form details below.\n\n"; function clean_string($string) { $bad = array("content-type","bcc:","to:","cc:","href"); return str_replace($bad,"",$string); } $email_message .= "First Name: ".clean_string($first_name)."\n"; $email_message .= "Last Name: ".clean_string($last_name)."\n"; $email_message .= "Email: ".clean_string($email_from)."\n"; $email_message .= "Comments: ".clean_string($comments)."\n"; // create email headers $headers = 'From: '.$email_from."\r\n". 'Reply-To: '.$email_from."\r\n" . 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion(); @mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers); ?> <!-- place your own success html below --><head> <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" /> <title>Email Confirmation: Christopher Middleton Photography</title> <div id="fb-root"></div> <script>(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_GB/all.js#xfbml=1"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script> <center>Thank you for using the contact form.<br><br>Replies will be sent as soon as possible.<br><br>In 10 seconds, your browser will automatically return to the home page.<br /><br />Return to <a href="index.htm">homepage</a>.<br /><br /><br /><center> <div class="fb-like" data-href="http://www.facebook.com/cmiddletonphotography" data-send="true" data-layout="button_count" data-show-faces="true"></div></center> <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="10; URL=index.htm"> <?php } die(); ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle04 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 $THIS_IP = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian F. Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Do note that the content of the REMOTE_ADDR index is provided by the client itself, and as such can quite easily be spoofed. You'll want to validate that it is indeed a IP-address, before doing anything with it. Even then, keep in mind that it might very well be a different IP than what the user actually has.

PFMaBiSmAd Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 The $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] comes from the TCP/IP data packets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismid259 Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 Thank you for your replies. Where exactly in my code would I implement this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
