I’d like to include a footnote in my response template that informs the recipient of why they’re receiving the e-mail; e.g.

This e-mail is in response to a submission to website name here:
Sent by: {name}
From IP: {ip_address}
If you feel you’ve received this e-mail in error, please contact us at website name here.

Is there any way with freeform to record the form users IP and use it in a variable like {ip_address}?

Or, would it be possible to include a bit of php in the response template to display the users ip: e.g.
<?php
$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']
?>

Thanks in advance.

To answer my own question...YES.

This is not thoroughly tested however...but…

By adding a hidden input field to my form itself and assigning it a value of the global {ip_address} like:

Then by just creating a custom field in freeform named IP, the users IP address is now available to
place in a confirmation template by simply using {IP}:

Again, I’ve not tested this outside of my own IP. But, in this case it does seem to work.

hothouseg,

This is the method I would recommend.

Seems odd that you’d have to record it twice—Isn’t IP address already captured by Freeform?  Why not make it available to the email template?
