[Fastcgipp-users] converting data to string

[ninti]

I am trying to build a string which will form the body of an email sent from a 
contact page. I'm trying to include the IP address and date in the email, 
without 
much luck so far. 
 
These variables/methods print fine to the 'out <<' stream: 
 
out << environment.remoteAddress; 
out << boost::posix_time::second_clock::local_time(); 
 
but I cannot concatenate them into a std::string: 
 
std::string msg = "blah" + environment.remoteAddress + "blah"; 
std::string date = boost::posix_time::second_clock::local_time(); 
std::string msg = "blah" + date + "blah"; 
 
The problem appears to be type related: 
 
contact.cpp:52: error: conversion from ‘Fastcgipp::Http::Address’ to non-scalar 
type ‘std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >’ 
requested 
contact.cpp:53: error: conversion from ‘boost::posix_time::ptime’ to non-scalar 
type ‘std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >’ 
requested 
 
I have checked the docs and can see that environment.remoteAddress is in fact 
not 
string, but perhaps an array or object(?). 
 
Is there a simple way to get string values for these two pieces of data that 
can 
be concatenated with other strings?  
 
Thanks
