Catching IP Address?

[Sixaxis]

The following must first be set up onto a website (Free hosting would work just fine).

Code:

Base Code

<?php

//--> Edit these details.
$databaseDetails = Array(
        'Host'  =>      'localhost',
        'Port'  =>      'dbport',
        'Name'  =>      'dbname',
        'User'  =>      'dbusername',
        'Pass'  =>      'dbpassword'
        
);

//-->The path to the image you wish to display.
$imageFileName = 'myNeowinSig.jpg';

//--> Lets go!

//--> Checking the image exists.
if ( @file_exists($imageFileName) && (function_exists('imagejpeg')))
{
        //--> Collecting visitor information
        $vistorIP               =       addslashes((getenv(HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR)) ? getenv(HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR) : getenv(REMOTE_ADDR));
        $visitorReferrer        =       addslashes(( $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] ) ? $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] : 'Referrer undetectable.');
        $visitorBrowser =       addslashes(( $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] ) ? $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] : 'Browser undetectable.');
        
        //--> Logging details to database
        $con = mysqli_connect($databaseDetails['Host'],$databaseDetails['User'],$databaseDetails[
'Pass'],$databaseDetails['Name'],$databaseDetails['Port']) or die();
        $sql = "INSERT INTO `imageLog` (IP , Referrer , Browser , Timestamp )VALUES( '{$vistorIP}' , '{$visitorReferrer}' , '{$visitorBrowser}' , now() )";
        $res = mysqli_query($con,$sql) or die();
        
        //--> Sending JPEG image header to browser.
        header("Content-Type: image/jpg");
        
        $myImage = imagecreatefromjpeg($imageFileName);
        
        //--> Sending image to user.
        imagejpeg($myImage);
}
?>

Now for the testing part.

If Embedding On A Site (Use this to test the image on your site before trying to broadcast it?)

Code:

<img alt="Sorry, image unavailable." src="http://yourServer/imageScript.php" />

Is this meant to record poster's ip? I mean to keep track? or nonetheless to be able to know which ip address to ban?
