is it possible to create a website that "remembers" its visitors ip and stores it on an extra html page?

it should be like:

visitor (IP XXXXXXXXX) goes on site www.haha.com ... by opening the website his IP XXXXXXXXX is noticed and than put onto a page like www.haha.com/ip.html ...

would be a nice little tool for a page, to scare some of my friends^^

It's easy.
You can use my code.

Code: Select all

//on page index.php for example
//write where you want to show the ip of the visitor: Your ip is: <?php include("getip.php"); ?>

//(page: getip.php)
<?php
//by x86anonymous
$filename = "ip.html";
if(file_exists($filename)){
   $size = filesize($filename);
   if($size>0){
      $fd = fopen($filename, "r" );
         $information = fread($fd,$size);
      fclose($fd);
   }
}
$fd = fopen($filename, "w" );
   $time = gettimeofday();
   $information .= "<b>".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']." :: ".GetHostByAddr($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'])."</b><br />";
   fwrite($fd,$information);
fclose($fd);

echo $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
?>


ps: This code also write the hostname of the visitor in the external file.

Sure ,you need a php script for the job:

Code: Select all

<?php
if (! filesize('ip.html')==0)
{
$ipz=fread('ip.html',filesize('ip.html'));
}
if (! isset($ipz))
{
$ipz='<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html><body></body></html>';
}
$ipz=substr($ipz,0,strlen($ipz)-14).$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'].'<br></body></html>';
$wip=fopen('ip.html','w');
fwrite($wip,$ipz);
fclose($wip);
?>


This will do it.

Notes:
The page on wich you put this script must have the extension *.php or the webserver must be configured to allow php code in *.html files ,you can put the script anywhere on your page it doesn`t make any difference to it.

The file "ip.html" or the whole directory that contains it must be writable by the webserver ,this can be accomplished two ways:

-1)you create an empty(it must not contain a single character or the script won`t work properly) file called "ip.html" ,and make it writable by the webserver ,the most simple way to do that is type this command

Code: Select all

chmod 777 ip.html

in your favorite ftp client when you`re in the ftp directory of "ip.html"

-2)the same way as mentioned above you can type a command

Code: Select all

chmod 777 .

,didn`t test this ,but this should make the whole directory writable by the webserver and the script would create the file ,if you do this ,you don`t need to create the empty "ip.html" just type this command.

thx for the damn fast answers

i tried darkmans solution, works quite good

is it possible to store every ip? at the moment, the ip is erased after a new ip connects to the page

try my code, it stores every ip.

or if you really like DjDarkman solution, tray it

Code: Select all

<?php
//by DjDarkman
if (!filesize('ip.html')==0)
{
$ipz=fread(fopen('ip.html','r'),filesize('ip.html'));// I think that it works better with fopen('ip.html','r') instead of 'ip.html'  ( line edited by x86anonymous)
}
if (!isset($ipz))
{
$ipz='<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html><body></body></html>';
}
$ipz=substr($ipz,0,strlen($ipz)-14).$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'].'<br></body></html>';
$wip=fopen('ip.html','w');
fwrite($wip,$ipz);
fclose($wip);
?>

x86anonymous was right ,I accidenlty forget the fopen part ,try his version of my code it should work fine.

guys, you are create ^^

maybe you could tell my how to add an timer? so i can see when the ip was added to the page?

thx again

There are some great tutorials on logging ips and time recorders if you bothered to open google.com, instead of having to ask all the time.

Sure ,try this:

Code: Select all

<?php
//by DjDarkman
if (!filesize('ip.html')==0)
{
$ipz=fread(fopen('ip.html','r'),filesize('ip.html'));// I think that it works better with fopen('ip.html','r') instead of 'ip.html'  ( line edited by x86anonymous)
}
if (!isset($ipz))
{
$ipz='<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html><body></body></html>';
}
$ipz=substr($ipz,0,strlen($ipz)-14).date('l dS \of F Y h:i:s A').$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'].'<br></body></html>';
$wip=fopen('ip.html','w');
fwrite($wip,$ipz);
fclose($wip);
?>


or if you want something else read http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php and chose what`s apropriate for you and replace the "date('l dS \of F Y h:i:s A')" part of the code.

i know google, and i now how to use it. but not knowing anything about that (+ beeing from german not knowing the right expression (dictionnairy won't help, believe me ...)) searching for stuff like "ip logging" won't get you far ...


thx again darkman for the quick help

google.de?

BTW, just so you don't get too giddy. There's nothing secret about your IP. It's probably logged dozens of times a day on various webservers. Any time you go to a website you have to tell them you IP (otherwise they would have no way of sending the webpage back to you).

Hence the invention of the proxy. With all the free proxies out there (you still have to be careful because the proxy may log your IP) it is rather quite easy to set one up.

For FireFox, simply find a proxy list and pick one close to you. Then go to Tools -> Options -> General Tab -> Connection Settings -> Manual Proxy Configuration and enter the HTTP Proxy IP and port. Then go to a site like http://www.whatismyip.com and test it.

Disclaimer: Yes, my post does relate to the main topic of this thread, because it shows how easy it is to hide your IP from websites. So you might not want to trust that list of IP's that you collect completely.
