Show a computers IP with HTML?

[Meti]

Hey,
Is this possible? I think I had this before, but forgot code.
Example: On a contact form, it would show the persons IP number saying like:
"your IP Number will be sent with the email" etc.

++REP for help.

If I can remember correctly, you can't do it. HTML is client side and doesn't have anything to do with the server (it's just a page on the server). You can use PHP though.

[Pazza]

<script language="JavaScript">
VIH_BackColor = "palegreen";
VIH_ForeColor = "navy";
VIH_FontPix = "16";
VIH_DisplayFormat = "You are visiting from:<br>IP Address: %%IP%%<br>Host: %%HOST%%";
VIH_DisplayOnPage = "yes";
</script>
<script language="JavaScript" src="http://scripts.hashemian.com/js/visitorIPHOST.js.php"></script>

Just edit that, and you should be done.

But, there is a much simpler one here http://www.wallpaperama.com/forums/how-to-display-ip-address-php-script-code-function-from-visitor-user-t399.html

If it's on a contact form chances are it's PHP.

[Excellent2]

<?php

$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

echo ('Your IP is: <br />$ip');

?>

[DeejayMachoo$]

<?php

$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

echo ('Your IP is: <br />$ip');

?>

Do u mean


<?php

$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

echo ('Your IP is: <br />'.$ip);

?> or


<?php

$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

echo "'Your IP is: <br />$ip");

?>

$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

?>No. I mean

<?php

$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

echo ('Your IP is: <br />$ip');

?>

[Trinity]

No. I mean

<?php

$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

echo ('Your IP is: <br />$ip');

?>

But that wouldn't work bbz, single quotes.

Possible via Javascript:

var ip = '<!--#echo var="REMOTE_ADDR"-->';
either use document.write or use a popup to display it ;).

Use the PHP one because some people have javascript disabled.

[iUnknown]

You can use either javascript/php.

Personally, I would go for PHP. Simply renaming the page to .php and adding a little code (I'd do it like this):



<?php
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
echo "<i>Your IP address has been logged: " . $ip . ".</i>";
?>
That would appear something like this:


Your IP address has been logged: 11.22.33.44

And could simply be put at the bottom of the form.

You can also simply add this to the area of the form coding that stores the data submitted in the form as variables (if PHP):


$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; And this would register the visitor's ip as a variable ($ip), and if it's something like submitting an email, you just add it to the email like all the other variables ie. name etc.

Hope I've helped.

Arent we trying to get the "clients" IP?

Javascript is also client side (though you can still get the IP with it), though I think it might be because
HTML is a markup language...??????????????????????????

[Agnostic Bear]

why not just



<?php echo $_SERVER[ 'REMOTE_ADDR' ]; ?>


instead of adding all your wacky YOUR IP IS" . $IP OH GOD SET A VARIABLE FOR SOMETHING THAT NEVER CHANGES

[DeejayMachoo$]

why not just



<?php echo $_SERVER[ 'REMOTE_ADDR' ]; ?>

Rofl, Jewish Bear makes me laugh every time. I'm loving the use of wacky. Anyway, glad to see it's been sorted. I'd say PHP is best.

var ip = '<!--#echo var="REMOTE_ADDR"-->';

That's a server side include that for some reason has been combined with javascript. You could just do:

Your IP is: <!--#echo var="REMOTE_ADDR"-->

Both examples require certain configurations to work, otherwise every XSS vulnerability would be alot more serious.

[Meti]

I tried "<!--#echo var="REMOTE_ADDR" -->"

It does not work..

[Blackcomb]

Fighting over single and double quotes...

[Calgon]

I tried "<!--#echo var="REMOTE_ADDR" -->"

It does not work..

Page has to be *.shtml

[Meti]

Oh Kk. Thank you :)

No need to close on such a small forum area, but the reason he's banned is because he posted that with a load of.. pictures. I'm suprised his post wasn't removed.

[AlexBrooks]

If you just want to use HTML, you can use a iFrame which loads a page on another server, such as whatsmyip.org position the iFrame loading page to only load the section which displays the IP address.

[Meti]

That's a good idea AlexBrooks. Thanks :) +rep
