Have just upgraded to v1.5 mainly for the IP functionality due to consistent abuse of guestbook by one person. I delete malicious messages once they are posted but I need to try and keep a record of them hence I would like to include the IP address (and post time if possible) in the email notification.

What variable is used to store the IP address and can I reference it in the notification email? I have noticed $IP being used quite a lot but I have tried to include that in the email but it comes out blank - could I just use $REMOTE ADDR or is there a variable I can use already defined?

Also where can I change the date format to allow me to capture the time as well as date?

Many thanks

Have been able to change the date format so its just the IP address in the notification email now please

Thanks

PHP Stores IP in the variable.

If used inside quotes (like it the $message variable in GBook) you need to use it without the single quotes:

By the way, you can select IP to be banned when deleting a message or viewing IP from GBook.

Thanks Klemen - I had already used remote_addr but liked the way the GB script resolved the IP to a domaim which is why I wanted to use the variable already set but only because Im lazy!

Thanks for a great script

You can use PHP function gethostbyaddr() to get the resolving host (domain/ISP).

Ok, have done it and here the code for 1.5:

1) find line 739 reading:
$email=str_replace($repl,$char,$email);

2) add on line 740 (insert blank line):
$hostname = gethostbyaddr($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);


3) on line 747 add (under From:):
Sender: $hostname


thats all! - save the script, upload it and here ya go...
