The majority of this question can be answered by the $_SERVER variable;
Code: Select all
echo '<HR><PRE>'; print_r($_SERVER); echo '</PRE>';

http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/reserved.v ... les.server explains the $_SERVER superglobal, where you can find user info.
As far as i'm aware, a unique session id is autmatically generated for you, accessed through the 'SID' constant.

Code: Select all
// Host name. This might need setting up though, the details are in the link i gave you.
$_SERVER['REMOTE_HOST'];
// IP address of client.
$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
//Or...
$hostName = gethostbyaddr($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
