Dear Friends,

I need to capture the IP address of user who fills up the WebToPerson form and to pass this value to a custom field ‘create_ip_c’ which I have created in table ‘prospects’.

I solicit your advice & guide.

PHP: 5.4.3
SuiteCRM: 7.7.5

With thanks,

Hi,


function get_client_ip() {
    $ipaddress = '';
    if ($_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'])
        $ipaddress = $_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'];
    else if($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'])
        $ipaddress = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
    else if($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED'])
        $ipaddress = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED'];
    else if($_SERVER['HTTP_FORWARDED_FOR'])
        $ipaddress = $_SERVER['HTTP_FORWARDED_FOR'];
    else if($_SERVER['HTTP_FORWARDED'])
        $ipaddress = $_SERVER['HTTP_FORWARDED'];
    else if($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'])
        $ipaddress = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
    else
        $ipaddress = 'UNKNOWN';
    return $ipaddress;
}

.....

array("name" => "create_ip_c", "value" => get_client_ip() ),

I don’t think that code is quite ready to drop in anywhere. It is PHP so it would go on the server side, in a PHP script, but not in your form html.
