I am using the example 'portal' in php4 and I want to automatically trap the user's ip when someone registers a new user. The field: ip_insert was in the sample database but there was no user code to fill it. I used the following:
$fldip_insert=$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REMOTE_ADDR'];
I tried to insert this in the 'before insert' and 'before show insert' but it doesn't seem to work in either place. It will echo in a simple php script on my server.
<?php
echo $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REMOTE_ADDR'];
?>
So I know the function is avaliable but I can't get it to work in cc. Can anyone tell me how to do this.

I bet you forgot to issue a
global $HTTP_SERVER_VARS
before you started using it. :)

I originally did not have a global declaration because I assummed that system VARS were naturally global. I'm not sure where the global declaration should be. I tried to call it just prior to the remote_addr assign but that didn't work. I also tried to put the global declaration at the page 'on-open' but that didn't work either. Does the global declaration have to be in the common or is there a better place I can call it.
Thanks
Janice

Yes, the $HTTP_SERVER_VARS are global, but like all global variables, if you
reference them inside a function, you need to use a Global statement inside
your function. This example may clear things up.
<?PHP
function GetIPAddress()
{
global $HTTP_SERVER_VARS;
return $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REMOTE_ADDR'];
}
echo "IP Address:".GetIPAddress();
?>

Making a function of it worked just fine.
Thank you so much,
