        $ip_address = $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"];
    } else {
        $ip_address = $_SERVER["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"];
    }
    if(strpos($ip_address, ',') !== false) {
        $ip_address = explode(',', $ip_address);
        $ip_address = $ip_address[0];
    }
    return $ip_address;
} 


Or this one I got from another site, I don't remember where, it treats a string as if it is included by include();

Only downside is that you can't declare functions since it's already inside a function.

PHP Code:

function phpWrapper($content) {
    global $page;
    ob_start();
    $content = str_replace('<'.'?php','<'.'?',$content);
    eval('?'.'>'.trim($content).'<'.'?');
    $content = ob_get_contents();
    ob_end_clean();
    return $content;
} 


Or a function to echo a string and immediatly echo it without delay

PHP Code:

function _echo($echo) {
    echo $echo;
    flush();
    ob_flush();
} 


This one transforms a filename into a clean string, to be used as a title or whatever (for example, go_go_gadget.exe becomes "Go go gadget"

PHP Code:

function get_filetotitle($title) {
    $title = strip_path($title);
    $title = str_replace('_',' ',$title);
    $title = substr($title, 0, strrpos($title, '.'));
    $bits = explode(' ',$title);
    foreach ($bits AS $bit) {
        $return .= capitalize_firstchar($bit);
    }
    return $return;
}

function capitalize_firstchar($string) {
    return strtoupper(substr($string,0,1)).substr($string,1);
} 


It appears as though the PHP code above to transform a filename into a clean string is what I've been looking for. I'm on the ground floor with PHP, and without sounding like a complete idiot, I really need to know where this code goes and how to implement it on each of my web pages. I have a div for banner where I'd like the page title to appear. Do I simply place this code in the div?
