echo '<input type="hidden" name="ip" value="'.$_SERVER{'REMOTE_ADDR'].'">';

Then again, that seems highly unreliable, what problem are you trying to
solve with this hidden form field?

Hi Rik,

tried including the line in my form, but no avail. I think I know not how
to integrate php & html, my form is writtin in html with a js form
validator.

what I am trying to achieve is to circumvent the normal PHPBB registration
form, and have prospective members fill in a customized HTML for
registration that I handle on a case-by-case basis. The form works fine in
showing the "image" of the visitors IP, but I just don't know how I can have
the IP sent to me as part of the form. Normally, PHPBB (an open-source
server-side bulletin board) collects IP's for new members when they register
and when they post messages.

I'm sure this is a fairly elementary thing, but I'm mainly an HTML coder,
even javascript makes me go crazy!

thanks,

Tam
