How to identify a person's IP address from your VFP app?

Author: mbsoftwaresolutions@mbsoftwaresolutions.com

Posted: 2014-05-27 10:12:34   Link

I'm wondering how to identify the user's IP address so we can apply

tighter security. (MySQL allows you to restrict access by IP address.)

How do you get the person's true IP (and not just the internal network

IP)? Do you do a TraceRt and someone glean it from that?

Thanks!

Thanks, Dave. I'll try that code later today. (Not sure why the same

code is posted several times in that thread?!??)

Have you successfully used this code, Dave?

The VFP2C library has a function called RESOLVEHOSTTOIP. Of course, you would have to know the external host name of the user's network.

Just looked at my notes and wse had a problem with that routine getting past the firewall and ended up with this:

#define TIMEOUT 30 && timeout 30 seconds

o = createobject("internetexplorer.application")

o.Navigate("http://www.atoutfox.org/ip.asp")

v_t = SECONDS()

* DO WHILE o.busy() AND (seconds() -v_t) <= TIMEOUT

DO WHILE o.ReadyState<>4 AND (seconds() -v_t) <= TIMEOUT

DOEVENTS

ENDDO

IF o.ReadyState<>4

v_ip = "0.0.0.0"

else

v_ip = o.document.nameprop()

ENDIF

RELEASE o

? "Your IP address is : ", v_ip

Hope it helps

Dave
