ip address of visiting user

Hi,

I need to make something that displays the user ip address as a result (to be included into a site) and if possible writes the ip and hostname to a file or database.

I have totally no experience with it, so if you want to help me, please treat me as a newbie with PHP...

And no, i'm not gonna use ASP because i want an apache server instead of micro$oft stuff :rolleyes:

thanks in advance

$ip = $REMOTE_ADDR;
$host = $REMOTE_HOST;

and I suggest reading the php manual if you don't know how to connect to the database.

tnx...

I will read it (or at least the things i need to know)

hmmmm, i like this "Icheb" guy, refuses to use ASP, likes PHP, he has more sense than any other person on this forum !!!! :) i like

thanx...

I don't have one of thoes. Got any tutorials? PHP.com doesnt explain much. I too would like to write IP adresses to a (text) file.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/

and then you can get the manual as it is free.
