[OPLINTECH] webform question

[Victor Zuniga]

Hi Amy, 

I am not familiar with SirsiDynix (we are an Innovative Interfaces shop) but
it shouldn¹t be difficult to include some php on your html page (granted
SirsiDynix gives access to edit the page). If not, you can ask them to
include a couple variables (assuming you¹re using PHP) into your form to
gather  information such as the IP address, browser, Date/Time, etc.

Something like:


$ipi = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");
$httprefi = getenv ("HTTP_REFERER");
$httpagenti = getenv ("HTTP_USER_AGENT");


Then you/they would set the fields on your form as hidden:

<input type="hidden" name="ip" value="<?php echo $ipi ?>" />
<input type="hidden" name="httpref" value="<?php echo $httprefi ?>" />
<input type="hidden" name="httpagent" value="<?php echo $httpagenti ?>" />

When the user submits the form, you¹ll be getting this additional
information.


HTH,

Victor
