How can I get the IP address of someone submitting a form?

    I have a php form that people sometimes fill in.

    The output from the form comes to me as an email.

    Is there a simple way I could have the IP of the person submitting the form recorded and included in the email? (The email comes from my webshost server and so its header contains the server IP rather the IP of the person submitting the form).

    Thanks :)

    Add this variable to your email:

    $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']
