Capture IP Address

I need to capture the IP address of the visitor submitting the form created by FB. Can I add this script from FB?

This is what I use for my contact form:

<input name="IP_Address" type="hidden" value="<?php echo((isset($_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]))?$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]:"") ?>">

Just add it to your form in code view.

I tried that and my entire page no longer appeared.

If you page is blank, it means a php error is occurring and error reporting is turned off.

Add the following at line 1 to turn error reporting on:

php:

<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL);

ini_set('display_errors','on');

?>
