What terms did you try when SEARCHING for a solution: "IP in approval e-mail"

Write your message below:

When I'm deciding whether to approve an entry in the guest book, it would be useful to know where the entry had come from. The e-mail address can be almost anything, but the IP is harder to spoof.

I changed from a different guest-book script to get the moderation feature, because I was getting several entries a day from someone in Poland with a dynamic IP address and more-or-less random e-mail address. If I knew the IP source of a guest-book entry before approving it I could look it up and check whether it was coming from that same ISP.

Good script, by the way - thanks!

Open gbook.php in Notepad and just below line add That should do the trick.

That should do the trick.

I'll try it - thanks!

I'd tried something like it but I didn't have the right syntax; I'd have needed a few hours to work out the detailed structure of the code to get to the right answer.

Again, many thanks.
