Simple PHP question

Hi guys,
Im actually an ASP programmer (dont hate me) and I need some help with this snippet of code.

What I want to do is to get the users IP address and send it in the email body, or as part of the email message.

Im totally lost with this - no PHP programming knowledge at all!

Code:

<?php
// Your email address
$email = [email protected];
// The subject
$subject = "Attempted Purchase : $17";
// The message
$message = "A visitor has attempted to buy at $17";
mail($email, $subject, $message, "From: $email");
// redirect back to url visitor came from
header("Location: http://7.xxxxxx.pay.clickbank.net");
?>

I know to capture the users IP i have to use something like $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

But where do I put it?

I am not a PHP guy but this article should be able to help you: http://www.plus2net.com/php_tutorial/php_ip.php

And you will want to concat, I am assuming, the IP Address to your message variable. Check this out: http://www.php-mysql-tutorial.com/wi...gs-in-php.aspx

Please don't randomly spam threads. If you want to contribute something to the conversation that is wonderful but comments like that are neither helpful or funny. Thanks.

Can someone possibly just paste up the code that I need ??

Now come on, stop being lazy. In the time it took you to write your post you could tested the code two different ways and got your desired result. I gave you everything you need.

Something like this:

$message = "A visitor has attempted to buy at $17" . $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
or
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$message = 'A visitor has attempted to buy at $17. IP = $ip';

This is a trivial problem, i don't see why you can't put forth a little effort to try and solve it.

I think this might help you.

Code:

$message="A user from".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']."has attempted to buy at$17";
