You mean when customer sigup they put their IP address ??

Impossible because on a phone connection your IP change everytime you connect !

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?

Have you done a search of the forum, or looked in the contributions ?

Any help on this topic would be great :)

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

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. :)

you should install the user tracking contribution which shows you their ip, their clicks thru your site, etc...
