Ive been on vcdquality today and I was lloking at there forum and in some peoples signiture it lists what OS and IE version you are running and your IP address.

Does anyone know how they do this.

For an example got to http://www.vcdquality.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=32151#newpost and look at maccy dads post.

I'd copied my IP address down incorrectly. Now where's that blushing smiley?! So, back to you Scribble "I think i worked it out" - How does he do it? And is your IP only visible to you on your PC (showing my ignorance and expecting a load of ROLOs with replies!)

It uses a simple PHP script, such as the one below

<?php
$img_number = imagecreate(275,25);
$backcolor = imagecolorallocate($img_number,102,102,153);
$textcolor = imagecolorallocate($img_number,255,255,255);

imagefill($img_number,0,0,$backcolor);
$number = " Your IP is $REMOTE_ADDR";

Imagestring($img_number,10,5,5,$number,$textcolor);

header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
imagejpeg($img_number);
?>

It is visible to you alone

I had no idea myself i just followed the link of the picture and there is a web page when you enter you details and it makes it for you.

"Simple" Told you I'd show my ignorance! "It is visible to you alone" - that's what I wanted to hear. Thanks.
