Hi
I'm not a coder although I tend to tinker a little!
I have a question in regards to Curl in php.
I'm working on a Curl process which submits data to a specific website.
I can understand that if I just run it via Cron then it will always have the same IP as the referrer - ie my server.
However, what IP would show if I used this process...
1) Five users from around the world click on an email link I send them
2) This runs my process to update 3rd party site and then redirects user to my site
So would the 3rd party site see 5 different IPs from around the world - or 5 instances of my server's IP?
Sorry if it's obvious, I just would like to know how this could work?
Many thanks in advance

Re: cURL and IP address simple question...
Your server's IP.
You could use curl_setopt with CURLOPT_PROXY if this is a problem. I've seen people install Tor and use it with localhost:8118, which is very convenient.

Thanks.
I'll get someone more experienced than me to take a look at TOR!
