Hey guyz, unfortuantly i am not much of a coder.

I think it would need to be written in javascript but im not entirly sure.

I need a system to place on my linux server that can alert everybody who is on my website and if possiable a way to alert an IP address.

Could somebody please point me in the right direction.

I know its a bit to ask but i really need this tool for my site, i heave searched google high and lost and just cant find what i need.

I dont believe it can be that complicated script and somebody must know where I can get a tool like this.

Thx Alot

3 Things:

1) Not sure what you are asking
2) Don't think it is possible.
3) Security issues may intervene ...

It is possiable cuz other sites have done it and they don't seem to have security issues with it.

Use PHP to do so. But if the computer goes through a proxy, you have to set the IP address of the server to be ignored by the proxy manager.

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

You may also insert this in this manner into HTML...
<input type="text" value="<?php echo $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; ?>">

yes please do move this to php.

now thanks alot for that. Please tell me if this would work.

a form like
<form action="alert.php" method="post">
Ip to alert: <input type="text" name="ip">
Alert mesage:<input type="text" name="alert">
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>

then alert.php
if $_SERVER['REMOTE ADDR'] == "$ip"{;
<script alert ('$alert');
};

Wait, that will only work if the person with that IP clicks submit wont it? - is it possiable to force a refresh on a page when you click submit? so when you alert the ip everybody on the site if forced to that alert.php file which shold alert the person who's ip address is entered

No. What the script that I just wrote you does is allows you to write an IP and an alert. If the IP matches the IP for the machine that is viewing your webpage, then it will display the alert that was typed. From there you may adapt the script to your liking.

Basically you now have the PHP way of getting the viewer's IP address. Note: this will not work if the computer is routing through a proxy server unless the proxy forwards the address.

I have tested it and it only works if a user type's their IP address and message in then clicks submit, it does not send the alert to any other user

As I have said, this is just an example of how to get you started. The following code will return the user's IP address. It is up to you to do with it from there.

After reading your first post again, I think this might be what you want.

<html>
<body>
<?php
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
echo "<script type='text/javascript'>";
echo "window.alert('Your IP Address Is: $ip')";
echo "</script>";
?>

<!--Your HTML Here-->

</body>
</html>

Not at all! I want to be able to laucn an alert on remote browsers via their IP. The user has nothing to do with the calling of it

I am now really confused. So you want the server to recognize the IP of the person viewing a page and then the server sends an alert? To whom?

You're still going to have to capture that IP somehow. Here is the VbScript code.

MyIp = Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR")
