obtaining remote address and other info
Posted: Sat Sep 17, 2005 1:26 pm
Hi,
I've been trying to find out how to obtain info from the visitor to a website. I've found that using the variable $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] will get me their ip address, however on some stat sites I see them obtain data as to their location and service provider. Is this done using a secondary search of the ip address? If so, how do you do that?
Thanks,
Dave
