Obtaining IP adress of browser host ?

[Heinz]

Hi All

I have a page where I trigger a command like xterm.

<?

$cmd="export DISPLAY=$disp ; xterm";

$out=shell_exec ($cmd);

?>

In php, can I find out what the hostname is where the browser is running
that requested this page so I can set the DISPLAY variable for that X-Server
?

I don't want to have the user to specifiy this.

Thanks in advance
Heinz
