IP is easy if you mean the client that connects to your server has to be logged.$adress = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];insert that line and the variable $adress will be the IP you need.But city is not possible i think, because the IP only refers to the company that has registered the subnet ( first 3 digits of you ip). So you can only find out who someones ISP is. And in wich country someone is. All you need to do is a whois to the ip you just got.

To get a host name (something like xxx.70.233.220.exetel.com.au) run the IP address through gethostbyaddr($ip).

Like jipman said the IP address is accessible through $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'].

 

To get their contury, there's an API here:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/geoip/

I never used it myself, but I've seen it in use on mySQL.com and it works for me.

It has APIs for a wide variety of languages.

 

Hope that helps.
