Getting user's IP address in LC Server

[matthias_livecode_150811 at m-r-d.de]

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.
