how to get a users ip adress...

[pemdas21]

I have an email form setup and I want to have the person's ip address that sends an email through it attached to the message. What hidden element do I add to the page itself, and what do I add to the php script?

Form script=
[code]<FORM name="Mailto" method="POST" action="emails.php" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded">
<INPUT type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://www.orrita.com/">
<select name="Person" size="1" style="position:absolute;left:168px;top:72px;width:384px;font-family:MS Shell Dlg;z-index:7">
<option selected>Choose a Recipient</option>

<option value="Joe Shmoe">Joe Shmoe</option>
</select>
<INPUT type="text" style="position:absolute;left:192px;top:120px;width:336px;z-index:8" size="42" name="Email" value="Your E-Mail Address">
<INPUT type="text" style="position:absolute;left:168px;top:192px;width:384px;z-index:9" size="48" name="Subject" value="Subject">
<TEXTAREA name="Message" style="position:absolute;left:168px;top:216px;width:384px;height:144px;z-index:10" rows=9 cols=45>Message</TEXTAREA>
<INPUT type="submit" name="" value="Submit" style="position:absolute;left:216px;top:384px;width:75px;height:24px;z-index:11">
<INPUT type="reset" name="" value="Reset" style="position:absolute;left:432px;top:384px;width:75px;height:24px;z-index:12">

</FORM>
[/code]

And the code for the php script:
[code]<%
Dim gv__POST(), gv_mailto, gv_mailbody


If isset(gv__POST("email")) then
email    = $_POST["email"]

If $Person == "Joe Shmoe" then
gv_mailto  = "joeshmoe@whatever.net"
End If




' repeat the above If statement as many times as the persons
$mailsubj  = $HTTP_POST_VARS["Subject"]
$Message  = $HTTP_POST_VARS["Message"]
$mailhead  = "From: " & email & "\n"
gv_mailbody  = "" & Message & "\n"
&  "\n"
&  "Email sent through our Web Mail form\n"
mail(
%>
[/code]

That's not php as far as I can tell...

Orio.

that looks like vbscript.

Either VB or ASP... I take it you didn't write this your self?

There are hundereds of PHP scripts for mailing; it's all fairly simple too! Google it :)

[pemdas21]

well, yes, it is vbscript... what do I do to get a users ip address?

[trq]

In vbscript? This is a PHP forum. I'll tell you now, that is neither vbscript or PHP but a hybrid of both.

A users ip is optained in PHP via $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], in vbscript I believe it is request.server("REMOTE_ADDR").

[pemdas21]

sorry... I am new to this type of scripting... Bear with me... I have no idea how to do this. I am sorry that I put this in the wrong section as well. If someone could modify my script to do send the ip address of the person after their email, and then tell me how it works, that would be absolutely awesome! Thanks for the quick response.

this forum is about php not asp try google for the type of programming that you are using.

more importantly this forum is not about writing script for you, but nudging you in the right direction.  Thorpe has provided you the variables that hold the user's ip address, for both php and vbscript.  If you cannot figure out how to encorporate a variable into your script, even by looking at the variables already in your script...do I really need to say what comes next in this statement?

[pemdas21]

I understand completely. Thank you for your time.

[pemdas21]

just tell me this, do I need to add anything to my form? or just change my .php script? That is all that I am asking.

The script you posted is NOT php. Can you read?
