IP address

I just added an option to send a text message to my cellphone on my site… I wanted to know if there’s a way to get a users IP address using ActionScript, so that I can get it in case someone decides to stalk me…

Not in AS, but through PHP you can. How to go about that with your form I have no clue.

i don’t think that is possible with as …

but you can use php [size=1]assuming that your server supports php :P[/size]

a quick example would be something like …


<?
echo "&ip=$REMOTE_ADDR&";
?>

then place a dynamic text field on the stage with the variable “ip”[ no quotes ] [size=1]variable … not instance name[/size]
and add this script to the timeline


this.loadVariables("file.php");

=)

[size=1][ edit ]
hmm … lost beat me :-[/size]

this has been brought up before. Kax nailed the php example mentioned in that previous thread (here):

though there is also an asp version mentioned there as well

there it was :stuck_out_tongue:

i ran a search and couldn’t find that thread :-\

it’s easier just posting the link than having to explain it here :smirk:

or in cgi :

$ip=$ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'};
