I am just starting to get interested in programming. I have Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2005, mySQL, Frontpage, PHP software (I have no idea how to use it, or even open it...lol) and an iMac that has UNIX. I want to try to get the IP to a MySpace account, an e-mail, and whatever else, but I have no clue how. How do upload somthing to a server to ***** an IP? I have seen things on other threads, but I don't even know how to do that, and I don't really want to put UNIX on my Windows laptop. I am a total "n00b" but everyone has to start somewhere. I need a basic step-by-step tutorial.

Thanks

To get someone's IP address, you could upload a script to your own website that logs all IP addresses, then give a link to this script to your target.

Try researching web languages like HTML, XHTML, CSS and Javascript, and server-side languages like PHP. Also, research FTP.

Just start searching on Google and Wikipedia.

Would that ***** visitors or the person who logs into it? What is the best place to get a free website? What script do I need?

-Sorry if i'm getting annoying...lol

It would log all the IP numbers of people who click the link to the page.


What is the best place to get a free website?

Search the web for "free PHP hosting", or try here:

What script do I need?

Any server-side script that logs visitor information; for example a PHP script. Try learning PHP from www.w*schools.com or www.php.net, or search for such a script.

I'm too lazy to write out a whole file-logging script, but this would print the user's IP address to their screen:


<?php

print($_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR");

?>

So they would have to access it through my website for me to get the IP, could I put somthing in my profile that would get it? I appreciate the help.

Well, you could place an image on your page that links to the PHP script -- that way they are still requesting the script, they just don't know it.
