I was just curious, this is probably not even the right forum, does anyone know how to tell what a visitor to your site’s IP address is?

@ffurnaiauthorJun 27.2005 — No kidding? just that simple?

well, let me take it a step further. Do you know how to tell where that IP address came from (geographically I mean)?

I saw a site that lets you input an IP address and it will tell you where that person is (roughly). Not trying to spy, just thought it would be cool "gee whiz" stuff.

<?php

if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'])) {

$ip = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];

}

elseif (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_VIA'])) {

$ip = $_SERVER['HTTP_VIA'];

}

elseif (isset($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'])) {

$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

}

else {

$ip = "unknown";

}

?>
