Getting browser's IP addr

I'm setting up a system that uses PHP
and MySQL. Whenever a user enters some
data that get stored as a row in the
database, I would like to capture the
IP addr of the user's computer, and put
that in the row, too. Is the IP addr
of the browser set as a PHP variable,
or is there some way to access that in
PHP? This would be valuable for security,
so that, for instance, if a hacker is
launching some attacks from one particular
host, that will be easier to trace.

Thanks.

You can get the remote address using

$REMOTE_ADDR variable.


eg:

<?php
print $REMOTE_ADDR;
?>

---- or -------

you may use getenv() function for getting the value of an environment variable.

$ip_addr = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");
