[SOLVED] Capturing the incoming url

[jpfred]

I have been reading several PHP books and have yet to find out how to capture the users url.  I would imagine that there exitst a session variable/value that can be captured into a variable.

 

Anybody have a idea to set me in the right direction?

I'm not sure if you mean $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] or $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']

To clarify what I am trying to do,

 

When an individual executes to myfile.php by clicking on SUBMIT on myfile.html I would like to be able to capture their current ip address or complete url and write it to a database.  A conceptual example of what I would like can be seen below:

 

<?php

$myip=??????;

mysql_connect("myserver.myserver.com", "myuserid", "mypassword") or die(mysql_error());

mysql_select_db("mydatabase") or die(mysql_error());

$data = mysql_query("INSERT INTO mytable VALUES($myip)");

?>

 

Expected result would be:

 

$myip = 11.11.11.11

 

The part I am confused about is what would I need to fill in "??????"

[PunjabHaker]

$myip = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");

that ?

That did the trick, Thanks!
