webhost Posted March 4, 2003 Posted March 4, 2003 hi there again, How does one add the senders ip details with the signup form. I think for security reasons its not a bad idea. Tom
Guest Posted March 4, 2003 Posted March 4, 2003 You mean when customer sigup they put their IP address ?? Impossible because on a phone connection your IP change everytime you connect !
webhost Posted March 4, 2003 Author Posted March 4, 2003 i need the code in the signup to allow the ip to be sent along with the signup to my email address. :D is that better explained?
burt Posted March 4, 2003 Posted March 4, 2003 Have you done a search of the forum, or looked in the contributions ?
webhost Posted March 14, 2003 Author Posted March 14, 2003 i need the code in the signup to allow the ip to be sent along with the signup to my email address. :D is that better explained? Any help on this topic would be great :)
Guest Posted March 14, 2003 Posted March 14, 2003 the variable that captures the users ip is $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REMOTE_ADDR'] but as noted above, all modem users, most cable users, and others will have their ip changed every time they log in and out of their computer, so capturing it on sign in is of no real value - having it when they place an order it the time to capture it
webhost Posted March 14, 2003 Author Posted March 14, 2003 I understand. It still gives you some idea where the signup is from ie. country and which isp they are using. This way all button pushing can be tracked particially. Thank you. :)
Guest Posted March 14, 2003 Posted March 14, 2003 you should install the user tracking contribution which shows you their ip, their clicks thru your site, etc...
