I think I posted this in the wrong category before so I am reposting it here.

Hi all,

I have this script below that will log the ip address of a user that visits my site to a file called log.php.

<?php putenv("TZ=America/Los_Angeles"); ?>
<?php
define("DATE_FORMAT","d-m-Y H:i:s");
define("LOG_FILE","../administrators/log/log.php");

$logfileHeader='
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<table width="1000" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1" class="ts4">
<tr><th>Username</th><th>Date/Time (PST)</th><th>IP Address</th><th>Hostname</th><th>Track</th></tr>'."\n";

$userIp = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$hostName = gethostbyaddr($userIp);
$actualTime = date(DATE_FORMAT);
$username = $_REQUEST[uid];

$logEntry = " <tr><td width=150>$username</td><td width=200>$actualTime</td><td width=125>$userIp</td><td>$hostName</td><td width=125><a href=http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/ipall.ch?domain=$userIp>$userIp</a></td></tr>\n";

if (!file_exists(LOG_FILE)) {
$logFile = fopen(LOG_FILE,"w");
fwrite($logFile, $logfileHeader);
}
else {
$logFile = fopen(LOG_FILE,"a");
}

fwrite($logFile,$logEntry);
fclose($logFile);
?>

The code: $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; no longer records the user's ip address. Instead the address of a yahoo server is recorded (my website provider). I found a new code that will record the user's ip address, which is located below:

<script language="Javascript" src="http://gd.geobytes.com/gd?after=-1&variables=GeobytesIpAddress"></script>
<script language="Javascript"> document.write(sGeobytesIpAddress);
</script>

How would i go about replacing the $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; code with the code above. I have tried many things but nothing works. Thank you for any help you can provide,

cedric

Instead of joining javascript and php you can do the following. Not sure if it will work but it should.

<?php putenv("TZ=America/Los_Angeles"); ?>
<?php
define("DATE_FORMAT","d-m-Y H:i:s");
define("LOG_FILE","../administrators/log/log.php");

$logfileHeader='
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<table width="1000" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1" class="ts4">
<tr><th>Username</th><th>Date/Time (PST)</th><th>IP Address</th><th>Hostname</th><th>Track</th></tr>'."\n";

if (!isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']) || strlen($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']) ==0) {

$userIp = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
}
else {
$userIp = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
}
$hostName = gethostbyaddr($userIp);
$actualTime = date(DATE_FORMAT);
$username = $_REQUEST[uid];

$logEntry = " <tr><td width=150>$username</td><td width=200>$actualTime</td><td width=125>$userIp</td><td>$hostName</td><td width=125><a href=http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/ipall.ch?domain=$userIp>$userIp</a></td></tr>\n";

if (!file_exists(LOG_FILE)) {
$logFile = fopen(LOG_FILE,"w");
fwrite($logFile, $logfileHeader);
}
else {
$logFile = fopen(LOG_FILE,"a");
}

fwrite($logFile,$logEntry);
fclose($logFile);
?>
