IP address on web page via PHP
Hi,

I am totally new to PHP but know that it is possible to use it to display a visitors Ip address on an HTML web page.

Please tell me what I need to do, step by step, to get this working. I am good with HTML but a real novice with PHP.

I have checked and my web space supports PHP4 scripting.
Do I need to upload anything to the web server or just embed the script into my HTML pages.

many thanks

Try $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']
The IP address from which the user is viewing the current page.

Well, it'd have to be a PHP page. Or you could use server side includes in HTML. It's been a while since I've done anything with that, but you should be able to find more about them at apache.org. You can access environment variables through SSI.

I'm using the code:

<html>
<head>
<title>PHP Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php $ip = $REMOTE_ADDR; ?>
</body>
</html>

and saving the file as "myip.php" but it doesn't work

Try:

PHP Code:
<?php echo $REMOTE_ADDR; ?>



Perhaps a few beginner tutorials wouldn't hurt either... ;-)

Here's an example of some of the things you are trying to use..

Try this: save it as userip.php
PHP Code:
<?
$hst = $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"];
$uri = $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
$rmt = $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"];
$br = $_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"];
echo "Your IP address reflects as : $rmt \n<br>\n The page you requested was: $uri \n<br>\n The browser you are using is $br";
?>


check this page out for more information on all of the predefined variables..: http://us4.php.net/reserved.variables

Hope this helps.
