How to email IP and browser type on page load?

Search on google (and read the current messages in this forum) on sending emails from php.

Once you've figured that out, then you just need to do some light searching to find out how to handle the browser agent ($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']) and remote ip address ($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']).
I suggest you send the emails just before you deliver the page to the user instead.

Remember that PHP is a server-side language and once you have delivered the HTML to the page, there is no way you can interact with the page... and so there is no way you can know when the page has "loaded" (in the browser).
I suggest you send the emails just before you deliver the page to the user instead.
