Hi Matthias!
Works like a charm -- didn't even occur to me to check the server
variable for IP. (yeah, amateur!)
Thank you.

Hi Tim,
you can use the array variable $_SERVER for it. The variable contains the CGI
interface related variables, along with any HTTP_* variables that are available.
$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR] contains the remote ip address.

Life Is Too Short For Boring Code

Hi,
I am trying to make a web page that changes content a bit based on the user's
location. I am using my on-rev hosting account and am trying two different
service's APIs:
1) put "My country is" && url
"https://api.ipdata.co/country_name?api-key=my/key";
2) put "curl https://api.ipgeolocation.io/getip"; into IPvariable
But both of these return the info for Liquid Web LLC, the on-rev server
company, not the info for me as I test the page in Tokyo.
What is a reliable way to get the user's IP address and or geolocation info
from LC Server?
Any help appreciated!
Thanks,
