Capture IP Address?

**Corey** · 01-26-2005, 04:51 PM

Hi. Well you could use php to do it but if you write a file you need to CHMOD, here's a way to do it without CHMODing, just save this script to a file on your server, i.e. "echoIP.php" then do an HTTP submit to this script and it will echo back your IP as a result.

PHP Code:


<?php

$ip = GetHostByName($REMOTE_ADDR);

echo $ip;

?>

Hope that helps.

Why not use the script I sent you before

capture and log IP Address using php and access? - Indigo Rose Software Forums

http://www.indigorose.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8782&highlight=asp

then grab the last record written to get the IP address.

Thanks for the replies,

I have been working out how to use the one you sent me before with the Access database but because if is for offline use I am finding it hard.

<script id=clientEventHandlersJS language=javascript>

</script>

-----Corey, Thanks but my server doesn't support PHP. I suppose I will also have to consider upgrading.
Thanks.

I really need to place this sort of Javascript into the webpage so it will redirect to the ip

I will look into having .asp write this on the fly.

Any other ideas will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I'm sure I can get you pointed in the right direction, but I don't understand what it is you're trying to do.

All you want is a page set to redirect to an IP address. This page is created by browsing to a page from the dynamically assigned pc and the asp page is to write out the script, correct?

Sounds like ian is trying to bind a web site to content on a server with a dynamic IP...

**Worm** · 01-27-2005, 07:16 AM

Ian,

Give this a try.

A couple things need to be set.
1. Make sure your IUSR account has write permission in the folder this script is in
2. The file you are writing out to must exist, so create a blank one for the first run.
3. Change the path to the file you are writing out

Code:

<html>
<head>
<meta **********="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>ReDirect Writer</title>
<%
	Dim strIPAddress

		strIPAddress = Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR")
		if strIPAddress="" Then 
    		strIPAddress = Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR")
		end if
	
	 strIPAddress = "response.redirect (" & chr(34) & "http://" & strIPAddress & chr(34) & ")"
   set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
   set file = fs.OpenTextFile("E:\WebSites\wwwroot\Test\redirect.asp", 2)
   file.WriteLine("<% " & strIPAddress & chr(37) & ">" )
   file.Close()
%>
</head>
<body>
Redirect File Created.
</body>
</html>

That's right Corey,

This is what I am aiming to achieve.

Thanks for the script Worm, I will work with this and I will let you know the outcome.

Thanks Guys!

:yes

Ian,

Have you looked into DynDNS

It's a free service for dynamic ip servers. There are several clients available for free also that will autmatically change your host ip when it detects an ip change. I've also noticed that the newer LinkSys broadband routers have a client for DDNS built into them too, and one of the supported sights is DynDNS.

I'm not just a fan, I'm a client

(er... well at least my pc is) I use it for my home pc, so that when the wife calls me at work having problems with the pc, I can RAdmin in and take care of the problem.

**Corey** · 01-27-2005, 08:11 AM

DynDNS.org are fanatastic. I was going to reccomend it but I'm not too up on the whole dynamic IP aspect of what they do. But I can second Worm's testimony, they are great. They've been around for a long time and their free services are superb. I donated to them a couple times, great set of folks... :yes

**ianhull** · 01-27-2005, 08:30 AM

Thanks Worm, Corey, I have been looking into the dynip service which is also FREE

I can download a little app from them and it does everything I wanted to make.

I would still like to make my own and if I get there I will post my little app back to share.

Thanks for your help.

much appreciated.

:yes

**Corey** · 01-27-2005, 08:37 AM

Ah yes, now I remember it all. That's how I did this once so I could run a test server from my home box. I believe I used DYNDNS.org and like you say I had to download a client which ran in my taskbar. Worked very well.

Yes that's definitely the best way to go Ian, can't beat that. Then you can just point a domain or free subdomain at your account and you'll get 100% reliability.

Man I forgot all about that. that was back in "the day", but it was a really cool little system for doing what you need. I remember feeling very victorious once I got it running.
