But it gives me this error in the browser when I upload and vioew it online:

Parse error: parse error in /home/schofield/public_html/test.php on line 2

I have tried with JUST this code - nothing else and I still get the error. Is it to do with server settings at my ISP?

Not had any other problems with my PHP on the server.

Neil,

NOTE: as others mentioned above, these very by PHP version. But the ones below work for the latest versions (4.0+, ans in some of the 3+,,,they have just now released version 4.3.3)

<?php
$IP=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$HOST= gethostbyaddr($IP);
?>
Your page content…blah…blah…blah…
<form…..>
<input type=hidden name="UserIP" value="<?php echo $IP ?>">
<input type=hidden name="HostName" value="<?php echo $HOST ?>
</form>
The need to include the "php" right after the start of the script ("<?php") and in the "echo" statement varies by version of PHP, and in current versions can be set by the host. Try it without it first, and if it works use it so that you don't use alot of bandwidth on a PHP-heavy site.

I will apprecdiate any help.
thanks
neil
