Show a computers IP with HTML?

[Iszak]

Use the PHP one because some people have javascript disabled.

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.

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.

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...??????????????????????????

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

<?php

$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

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

?>

+REP IF I CAN

Possible via Javascript:

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

either use document.write or use a popup to display it .

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.

Possible via Javascript:

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

either use document.write or use a popup to display it .

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.

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

It does not work..
