    Hey,

    I recently implemented the use of Paypal's IPN into my e-commerce website, I'm having difficulty though sending the IP of the purchaser (for security purposes) along with the transaction, If I put the PHP code for grabbing IP $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

    It's inevitably saving the IP of eBay/Paypal when they request the script...any ideas on how this would be done would be wonderful...I would like to do it as inconspicuously as possible, so people can't tamper with it, or else it would lessen the effect of my transaction validity procedures.

    (I use PHP)

    Thanks :)
