Need to log customer IP on signup

Any idea how I could do this?

I know I have to use the $REMOTE_ADDR, or do I?

I had a play with it and got the dreaded error message. Something about a double arrow? So I chickened out and decided to ask for help instead.. :oops:

 

Reason being that I've had a lot of bogus signups and it's a wholesale site. I want to stop people from signing up, checking the prices, and undercutting me. I have the signup authorisation working and nobody can see anything until I authorise them, but I'm getting tons of bogus signups and it would be handy to be able to check the IP as well as their references. (had a couple of known nasties with fake names, that won't go away)

 

Any tips much appreciated. I couldn't find a contribution for this, and a search of the forum turned up with nothing..

 

Thanks

There are a few contributions to handle the logging of IP addresses:

 

This one does what you're after, and it's really easy to install:

These two log the IP address when the client orders:

May I ask if we can use all 3 in the same store? :)

 

I also found http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,1055 but I am wondering if this mod is to enhance "who's online" feature in admin? Thanks.

 

Thanks.

Best regards,

 

Elmo
