Hi, all!

I'm writing a PHP app and am currently working on the login portion.

I've already got a 3-strikes-and-you're-out deal working to disable a legit userID that has had 3 bad passwords used against it.

What I want to do now concerns when a user has attempted access 3 times with a bad ID.

I'm wanting to detect the users IP address and post that address to a blacklist table.

The login page will check that list first thing when it is loaded and redirect users with blacklisted IP addresses to a notice page informing them of the fact.

What I DON'T know how to do is detect the user's IP address or hostname using anything I can find in PHP's list of functions, though it might be hidden in some obscure category I haven't found it in.

So how do I do this?

Thanks in advance!

Steve
