Code for IP harvest needed

[MsSummer]

I had a line of code in a registration form years ago. I lost access to the server while in a coma for two years. Now I'm back and need the code.

 

When people fill out the registration form for a Wordpress blog, the info is emailed tto me. I used to get their IP at the end of the form. I need that line of code to parse (I think that's the right terminology) their IP onto the end of their registration.

Do a "forgot password" or contact your hosting company to get your credentials. If you are paying for the hosting this should be no problem.

I think you want this:

$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

Ignace, duh???  IF I could just email someone for access, don't you think I could have thought of that??   My business was sold while ill so although I have the server info, the pass isn't under my email.  Otherwise I'd get access and put 70+ websites back up.

 

Brentman -- thank you!  What format do I put that in?  I've lost memory so can't code anymore (yes, I appear stupid now but used to write scripts in PHP) and know there is a <?php or something in front of it.  I can't retain memory now or I'd start to relearn coding.

You might want to review the basics of PHP here:

http://php.net/manual/en/language.variables.basics.php

 

Also, information on the $_SERVER variable can be found here:

http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.server.php

Thanks.  It's all Chinese to me basically.  I spent years learning to code PHP, HTML, etc but now it is just foreign to me.  Or if it looks familiar, I forget it after a bit.

 

I did a little research.  Please correct me if I'm wrong.  At the end of my WordPress user registration form I'll add this:

 

<?php
echo "$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];";
?>

 

When the reg is emailed to me, the last line will be the IP of the person submitting.

No, you would add: $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] to whatever variable contains the rest of the email message.  Maybe $message or something like that.  Post the email message code and it should be easy.

No you'll need to echo out the $ip variable. Othwerwise it'll just echo the string $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; as-is.

$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
echo $ip; // this will echo out the IP

[MsSummer]

Thank you.  I need the <? php etc before/after as well?  {I'm tempted to hire a h4cker to grab the old file j/k}

$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

Yes all php code needs to be enclosed in <?php and ?> tags

[MsSummer]

Again, thank you.  In time I hope to get back to coding!
