Hi guys, I'm hoping OC has this data stored somewhere in the DB,
in ZenCart, the email (footer) sent to the admin looks like this:

---------------------------------------------------------------
Office Use Only:
From:
Email:
Login Name: Customer Name
Login Email: opencart@name.com
IP Address: 96.233.249.175 - 96.233.249.175
Host Address: pool-96-233-249-175.altnpa.east.verizon.net
Date and Time: Sun Feb 9 2014 20:23:16 CST
---------------------------------------------------------------

The customers given address for the data above is in "Altoona, PA",
which you can see, the HostAddress confirms (at a glance).

This is a quick & easy security feature when the admin eyeballs the days orders via email.

If the customer BillingAddress matches the HostAddress, it tells you their card is registered in the same State they're ordering from. Which is a fairly BIG security approval (Green Light) when trying to weed out fraud. If the person ordering is sitting in Iraq, but using a card with a billing address in New York, then you might wanna call them on the phone before sending your goods.

It doesn't always work, as mobile (and AOL) will use a proxy that spits out a funky HostAddress. But even so, this method saves a lot of time by slimming out your list of orders that need extra security attention. Just look for the match, and move on.

I really want this feature back. I've already edited the bugger out of my admin email, I just need the code that pulls this HostAddress data (if it even exists in the opencart DB).

This is a pretty important feature, please help. Thanks.
