Show the user their IP addy?

Hi,.

We have this code already to view all about the users browser. But what i need exactly is some sort of addition to it to see the users IP addy.
We need this for our customer website. The customer needs to be able to view their IP addy and this makes our job alot more easy to solve their issues. so the boss says lol.

Here is my code so far

HTML: Select all

<html>
<body>

<script type="text/javascript">
var x = navigator;
document.write("CodeName=" + x.appCodeName);
document.write("<br />");
document.write("MinorVersion=" + x.appMinorVersion);
document.write("<br />");
document.write("Name=" + x.appName);
document.write("<br />");
document.write("Version=" + x.appVersion);
document.write("<br />");
document.write("CookieEnabled=" + x.cookieEnabled);
document.write("<br />");
document.write("CPUClass=" + x.cpuClass);
document.write("<br />");
document.write("OnLine=" + x.onLine);
document.write("<br />");
document.write("Platform=" + x.platform);
document.write("<br />");
document.write("UA=" + x.userAgent);
document.write("<br />");
document.write("BrowserLanguage=" + x.browserLanguage);
document.write("<br />");
document.write("SystemLanguage=" + x.systemLanguage);
document.write("<br />");
document.write("UserLanguage=" + x.userLanguage);
</script>

</body>
</html>

This really needs to be a user end feature. Im not sure if im going in the correct direction. If you look on some websites, they show you your own IP addy in a small box on the website. Well thats what im trying to create.
God invented java to drive us insane lol.

thank you for your time

You have to use php:

PHP: Select all


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

Thanks for the info.

Do i just add the PHP code to my XHTML/CSS?
I have made our site using XHTML and used a CSS stylesheet.

Is the code you posted above the code i need?.

I'm not sure how your page is layed out.
But that will just print the IP Address. If you put it that on it's own in a PHP script and I visited it, I would just see 78.32.29.193.
You can put it wherever you want in your file, just make sure it ends in .php.

Is the page/sites that you are developing is a static or a dynamic sites?

Basic explaination:
Static: no database
Dynamic: with database interaction.

If your web host support PHP, then you could use Alex code provided you save the page in .php extension
If it do not support PHP, you could use ASP then like this:

HTML: Select all

<%
   Dim ipadd
   ipadd = Request.ServerVariables("remote_addr")
   Response.Write(ipadd) 'This will display the use ip address!
%>

There is a JavaScript function, but I wouldn't recommend it

There will be database interaction on our website.
Its our main business and we have a client log in section and we are adding a shopping feature plus we are trying to work on a build your own product section where customers can mix and match all products to create their Computer. Its computer sales we work in.
Thats one of the reasons we need to show user IP as its to do with our tech side of the business.

So, did Alex way or mine solved your problem?

again...What language do you use to build your site?
