Hi,  
  
  
  
I’m using the api, and I would like to to determine the lead that is visiting a php page. Is it possible to filter on ip address? I noticed the ipAddresess field, but I can not filter on it with, probably because it is an array  
  
  
  
$filter = ‘ipAddresses:’.$\_SERVER;  
  
$leads = $leadApi-\>getList($filter);  
  
  
  
Is there a way to do this?  
  
  
  
Or are there other/better ways to determine a lead on a php page?  
  
  
  
regards,  
  
  
  
Bas

Hi,

I’m using the api, and I would like to to determine the lead that is visiting a php page. Is it possible to filter on ip address? I noticed the ipAddresess field, but I can not filter on it with, probably because it is an array

$filter = ‘ipAddresses:’.$\_SERVER[‘REMOTE\_ADDR’];  
$leads = $leadApi-\>getList($filter);

Is there a way to do this?

Or are there other/better ways to determine a lead on a php page?

regards,

Bas
