    As a bit of a follow up to http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/forms-with-custom-action-can-form-only-send-email

    I have sucessfully used Gravity Forms to post to an external URL and that works great. The problem is that now all posts appear to be coming from the same user since I am reposting the data and losing the visitor's IP. How do I get the visitors IP from gform_post_submission_1?

    The IP will then be used in curl to submit the form again to the external URL

    The external URL will allow you to provide an IP address, rather than reading the IP the HTTP request is coming from? And the posts where all appear to be coming from the same user? In WordPress, post authors are not determined by IP.

    The gform_post_submission hook has access to the entry object, so you can access the value of the IP address of the submitter like this:

    [php]
$ip = $entry['ip'];
