simple variable help with ip address

[bobnew32]

Ok im trying to assign the variable $ip_address the ip address of the user.

So, I try to do

<?php
$ip_address= '<!--#echo var="REMOTE_ADDR" -->';
?>

And of course it doesn't work like that so I try switching it around and I keep getting errors. Plz help, thx.

<?php
$ip_address = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
?>

AFAIK if you have an older version of PHP you will need to change $_SERVER to $HTTP_SERVER_VARS.

Introduced in 4.1.0. In earlier versions, use $HTTP_SERVER_VARS.
