sniffing the IP address

Hello Forum!

I apologize if this has already been asked and answered here.

How do I code my web site so that I can sniff out the IP address of the person visiting the site? I want to then redirect the user according to their IP address. Specifically, if the user is coming from an Arabic or Farsi country state, I want to redirect them to a different page (then if they specifically request to see the content in English, I will remember this by a cookie).

    Do you know what the backend technology is? PHP is most common around here, especially with WordPress.

    Assuming you're using PHP - Use this:

    echo $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

    PHP: $_SERVER - Manual

      If you are using php this is easily achievable.
