ip address port etc....

[numblock]

this displays ip info.

<?php
$hostname = @gethostbyaddr($REMOTE_ADDR);
echo "<p>You are coming from IP address $REMOTE_ADDR";
echo " using port $REMOTE_PORT.";
echo "A DNS reverse lookup shows your hostname as $hostname.</p>\n";
?>

It only displays info to the person viewing

my website. I need to be able to have the ip and port info etc. of the visitors to my webpage not displayed for them to see, just send to a different html page and the information displayed there for me only to see.

How can i do this ?

Thanks

Tina

[numblock]

and how would i do this ?

🙂

try something like that, to get a 'remote.txt' file in the same directory:

<?php 
$hostname = gethostbyaddr($REMOTE_ADDR);
$ip = $REMOTE_ADDR;
$port = $REMOTE_PORT;

// UNCOMMENT FOR DEBUG
//echo "<pre>HOSTNAME ==> $hostname</pre>"; 
//echo "<pre>IP       ==> $ip</pre>"; 
//echo "<pre>PORT     ==> $port</pre>"; 

$time = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
$string = $time . ' ==> ' . 'HOSTNAME: ' . $hostname . '; IP: ' . $ip . '; PORT: ' . $port . "\r\n";
$fp = fopen('remote.txt', 'a+');
$fw = fwrite($fp, $string);
$fc = fclose($fp);

?>
 

hope that helps!

do u know how to use mysql¿
www.php.net/mysql

If you want to log to a file, here are the filesystem functions:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.filesystem.php

You'd be using functions like fopen, fwrite and fclose.

For a database, you'd have to setup a database, and depending on which database you choose, there are a set of functions for that database. Check out http://www.php.net/manual/en/ for all the categories of functions.

but ...

// WORKS FOR ME
$hostname = gethostbyaddr($REMOTE_ADDR);

// DOES NOT WORK FOR ME ==> EMPTY
$ip = $REMOTE_ADDR;

// DOES NOT WORK FOR ME
$port = $REMOTE_PORT;

// BUT

// WORKS FOR ME
$hostname = gethostbyaddr($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);

// WORKS FOR ME
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

// DOES NOT WORK FOR ME
$port = $_SERVER['REMOTE_PORT'];

i'm not sure why!? mybe it's the server!?

[MeX]

yes, it was the server!

on WIN2k server i just have

$SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']
$SERVER['REMOTE_HOST']

BUT on FreeBSD

$SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']
$SERVER['REMOTE_PORT']
$_SERVER['REMOTE_USER']

if you don't get any error message you have a remote.txt file on your webserver in the same directory of the php-script

if you call the php script like
www.yourdomain.com/displayip.php
you can show the the remote.txt like
www.yourdomain.com/remote.txt

i got a few error messages....

http://www.yourdomain.com/displayip.php

http://www.scarecrowsflat.com/testsite2/testscript.php

not sure what they mean

[MeX]

that means that you are not allowed to save the file in that directory!

you have to change the rights for the dir 'testsite2'!!

with your ftp client go to properties of the dir and change JUST the WRITE property for 'OTHERS' or 'WORLD' to 'YES'!!

then it should work!!

if you have a db you can alsi log the data to that!

alright the script seems to work now .

no errors

thanks

now how do i get this script to interact with a html webpage so that the info will be pulled from the visitors and saved into that file remote.txt ?

[MeX]

you just have to include this script in that page(s) where you want to log the data!

a good place is the main index-page ( www.scarecrowsflat.com/index.php )!

[numblock]

yep its working now Thank you

$fp = fopen('remote.txt', 'a+');

and to store the remote.txt file into a directory within the dir that contains the html file i do what ?

'/newdir/remote.txt'

something like that ??

[MeX]

yes ... but don't forget to change the dir rights again! ,)

/ is root dir

if you want to save the remote.txt to

http://www.scarecrowsflat.com/testsite2/newdir/remote.txt
newdir/remote.txt

http://www.scarecrowsflat.com/remote.txt
/remote.txt

[numblock]

ok it works on internet explorer

fine and dandy 🙂

on netscape i get this displayed when i access that page

HOSTNAME ==> $hostname"; //echo "

IP ==> $ip

"; //echo "

PORT ==> $port

"; $time = date("Y-m-d H:i:s"); $string = $time . ' ==> ' . 'HOSTNAME: ' . $hostname . '; IP: ' . $ip . '; PORT: ' . $port . "\r\n"; $fp = fopen('remote.txt', 'a+'); $fw = fwrite($fp, $string); $fc = fclose($fp); ?>

the code just displayed on the screen ...

any ide how to fix this ?

[MeX]

hmmm ... that's funny ... no idea why!?

check your script if it is 'well formed'!

<?php

// PHP CODE

?>
<HTML>
<HEAD></HEAD>
<BODY>
  <p>some text</p>
</BODY>
</HTML>

maybe netscape needs a perfect site!? 😉

(03) Mozilla 1.0 ==> WORKED
(04) Opera 6.03 ==> WORKED
