Getting a Visitor's IP Address
Is there a way to return user info from a user into some variables, one of them being the user's IP address.
I'm going to be using it to setup banning functions.

Banning an IP is OK as long as you aren't expecting it to work indefinately. If it's just a deterrent or something, that's alright. Just don't count on it to work. Say somebody is using AOL. Their IP will change with every connection (I've read that it can even change from page request to page request!!
)

My suite is almost to the point of heading into the security area and start looking there.
Huh? That made no sense to me.

If you know where to look... or if can even understand how the syntax translates to what you want.Daedalus- wrote:First, I would read it, fix my car and then drive down to spit in your face.
This isn't that kind of situation.
Do you know how long it took me to figure this one out?
15 frickin' seconds of searching the manual.
Don't be lazy.
We agree to disagree and that's fine... just don't reply to my posts if they bother you that much.... k?
