[7Priest7]

I keep finding this

var ip = '<!--#echo var="REMOTE_ADDR"-->';


It doesent work!!!

I need JavaScript IP detection that works!!

I thought there would be some kind of variable like navigator.something.another

But I can't find it...

JavaScript can't detect the IP address. The code you were trying to implement is part of a server-side predefined variable. You can use a server-side language to echo the IP to a JavaScript variable

<script type="text/javascript">
var ip = "<?php echo $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; ?>";
</script>

The PHP didnt work...
I think it is for the following reason...

I have my main files (index.htm source.htm and download.htm)

I think they are not allowing Server Side Features

I would have to rename them to (index.php source.php and download.php)?

The reason I am trying to avoid it is because...
Google will keep invalid Links

Any suggestions to avoid the rename?

You don't have to rename files. The operation of PHP depends on the server configuration.

1. You must be running your page from a web server and not a client.
http://webserver/
not
C:\path\to\web\folder
2. You must have PHP installed on that server.

3. If you want htm or html as a file extension that recognizes PHP, you must edit the following line in the httpd.conf file.
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html

3. If you want htm or html as a file extension that recognizes PHP, you must edit the following line in the php.ini file.
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html

That'd be either httpd.conf (global configuration) or .htaccess (local configuration) of Apache. For IIS this can be done in Properties > Home Directory > Configuration...

php.ini only holds settings for when the PHP parser is running.
