IP Questing about Posting Data

Will this be viewed as coming from my server or the user's ip?

[zigx]

I would like to use this function

<?
$user_agent = "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98)";

$urlencoded = "";
while (list($key,$value) = each($vars))
$urlencoded.= urlencode($key) . "=" . urlencode($value) . "&";
$urlencoded = substr($urlencoded,0,-1);

$content_length = strlen($urlencoded);

$headers = "POST $url HTTP/1.1
Accept: */*
Accept-Language: en-au
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
User-Agent: $user_agent
Host: $server
Connection: Keep-Alive
Cache-Control: no-cache
Content-Length: $content_length

";

$fp = fsockopen($server, $port, $errno, $errstr);
if (!$fp) {
return false;
}

fputs($fp, $headers);
fputs($fp, $urlencoded);

$ret = "";
while (!feof($fp))
$ret.= fgets($fp, 1024);

fclose($fp);
return $ret;
}
?>

in order to automate a few tasks for people who use my script.

My question is does this post come from my server's IP or the user who is utilizing the script?

thanks!

thanks for the edit.

Is there any way i can change it to be the user's IP?

Im thinking maybe a submit button that pops a window or takes to a new page? ne ideas?

thanks very much!

fsockopen is a php network function that opens a socket connection. php runs at server-side so the server acts as the client in this case. If you need to hide your ip, you can use a proxy. The only way to make the User's IP avialable witin the request is to run the process in the client-side (browser). I'm not aware of any distinct way to accomplish this. however, FYI the html source is accessible thru - "view-source:http://domain.com"
