Well, use the method I described, but convert it into PHP and put it on top of your php page. And instead of a cookie, use the database.... It can't be simpler then that...
The IP's are dynamical... In many cases more unexpectable than cookies.
Cookies can be deleted by the user, but the user has no control over the IP's. Some countries may have fixed IP's, but, as the number of free IP's is becoming very little (while IPv6 is not implemented) they are rapidly changing to the dynamic IP connection. In Spain for example (I'm sure many other countries do so) your IP can be changed even while you're online (when the modem/router notices there is no connection through its gateway it reports itself as idle to the ISP and the ISP may change its IP)
So, the best solution is to set cookies, because normal people (no nerds like us
) do not keep deleting their cookies constantly (well, neither do I)
