i want to do a audit trail, and save the IP address users into my database ... is there any php functions or statements that allow me to get users IP address?

You can access it through the REMOTE_ADDR property of the $_SERVER (or $HTTP_SERVER_VARS) superglobal.

If you are using PHP version 4.1.0 or above, you access it like this:

<?php
echo $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"];
?>

But if you are using a version of PHP below 4.1.0, then you access it like this:

<?php
echo $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["REMOTE_ADDR"];
?>

You can find some more info here (http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php#reserved.variables.server).
