Is there anyway to track a person that uses this page? I have someone sending us some messages and I would like to find out who they are.

yes, you can grab any user's ip address who uses the form.
oe you could use a cookie to track 'em, but that's less reliable as the user could have cookies disabled but cannot disable their ip address unless going through a proxy server beforehand.

code to grab user's ip address in the form:

Code: Select all

<!-- goes in the html form itself -->
<input type="hidden" name="ip" value="<?php echo $IP ?>">

code to post user's ip address in the php mail script:
(depending on your script)

Code: Select all

// get posted data into local variable
$ip = Trim($_POST[ip]);

Thanks TonyT I will give that a go and see how it works.
