Thread: How to limit the length of an output ?

Hi,

If you look at Proxy List | Free Proxy | Proxy Sites, there is a yellow box that tells you what the persons ip address is... and says at the top "Your IP is exposed"

Is there a way in which i can set a limit in characters for the length of the output for "browser" and "host".

And how can i make the white bit around it fill the space ?

Here is the code involved:

PHP Code:

<div class="box">
        <div class="boxleft"><div class="boxright">
            <div class="warning"> Your IP is exposed.</div>
            
            <div class="bcontent" style="background:#FFFFFF;">

<!-- USER INFO -->

<?php

$ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$browser=$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
$host=gethostbyaddr($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);


echo <<<D


                    <table>
                    <tbody><tr><td><b>Your IP:</b></font></td><td>$ip</font></td></tr>

                    <tr><td valign="top"><b>Browser:</b></font>&nbsp;</td><td>$browser</font></td></tr>
                    <tr><td><b>Host:</b></font>&nbsp;</td><td>$host</font></td></tr>
                    
                    

D;
?>
</tbody></table>
<!-- USER INFO -->

Thanks

To limit the characters add this :

PHP Code:

$browser = substr($browser, 0, 35);
$host = substr($host, 0, 35); 


directly after this:

PHP Code:

$ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; 
$browser=$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']; 
$host=gethostbyaddr($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']); 


changing 35 to whatever length you want.

As for the white space, probably gotta look through your css for it. but you could try changing:

HTML Code:

<div class="bcontent" style="background:#FFFFFF;">

to

HTML Code:

<div class="bcontent" style="background:#FFFFFF; width:100%;">

Again not sure, as I haven't looked through your css.

Sooo, to sum it all up in one quote :

PHP Code:

<div class="box">
        <div class="boxleft"><div class="boxright">
            <div class="warning"> Your IP is exposed.</div>
            
            <div class="bcontent" style="background:#FFFFFF; width:100%;">

<!-- USER INFO -->

<?php

$ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$browser=$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
$host=gethostbyaddr($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
$browser = substr($browser, 0, 35);
$host = substr($host, 0, 35);


echo <<<D


                    <table>
                    <tbody><tr><td><b>Your IP:</b></font></td><td>$ip</font></td></tr>

                    <tr><td valign="top"><b>Browser:</b></font>&nbsp;</td><td>$browser</font></td></tr>
                    <tr><td><b>Host:</b></font>&nbsp;</td><td>$host</font></td></tr>
                    
                    

D;
?>
</tbody></table>

Cheers!

Thank you dtkguy it works great

I love netbuilders

hmm, the white goes to far down in internet explorer have i done something wrong ?

Happy to help

Looks good on site too

hey dtkguy in your signature you have quickip.org is that yours ?

If so do you know how i can find out the country of the person and display a little flag of his country ?

Thanks

Yeah QuickIP is mine

You can do it with geoIP, my connection is being a jerk right now, keep getting kicked offline, so I don't want to take the time to post the code. I will later, if no one else does, but I'm sure people here know how. I know Mr.Bill does, he uses it.

You could also probably hack/mod proxywhereabouts ip2location script to suit your needs. but the geoIP method would be easier.

pwa's script can be had here : Small user online script - as seen on PWA! - xytheMe | Free Custom Proxy Templates

Okay I'm back, finally!

If you already have mod_geoip installed it's easy, you do a little something like this :

PHP Code:

<?php
//get country code and name
$cCode = apache_note("GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE");
$cName = apache_note("GEOIP_COUNTRY_NAME");

//make country code lower case to match flag file name case
$cCode = mb_strtolower($cCode);
?>

<img src="/images/flags/<?php echo "$cCode"; ?>.png"> <?php echo "$cName"; ?>

if you don't have mod_geoip, you can use the GeoIP Pure PHP Module, like so :

PHP Code:

<?php

include("/path/to/geoip.inc");

//put GeoIP.dat some place not publicly readable
//such as "/usr/local/geoip/GeoIP.dat"
$gi = geoip_open("/your/path/to/GeoIP.dat",GEOIP_STANDARD);

//get our variables
$ip = $_SERVER[REMOTE_ADDR];
$cCode = geoip_country_code_by_addr($gi, $ip);
$cName = geoip_country_name_by_addr($gi, $ip);

//make country code lower case to match flag file name case
$cCode = mb_strtolower($cCode);

?>

<img src="/images/flags/<?php echo "$cCode"; ?>.png"> <?php echo "$cName"; ?>

<?php geoip_close($gi); ?>

As you can see in the above two examples I had to make the country code string lower case because the flags I have are all lower case, and *nix based systems are a stickler for case

I've included the GeoIP Pure PHP Module, flags, and an example.php in the attachment

Oh and I've also finally got around to adding geoip location on quickip.org - find your ip | hostname | and more

Cheers!

*Edit* And a quick note, MaxMind should be updating the geoip countrylite database (GeoIP.dat) on April 1st, you'll be able to get it here when it's out Download GeoIP CountryLite Database

Hi,

Thank you there is just one thing , If you look at the site Proxy List | Free Proxy | Proxy Sites the image is not showing up.
Have i done something wrong ?

Ah, it was probably just the way I have it producing the output in the example. That doesn't show how you would do it with the way your templating system works. try this :

Code:

<tr><td><br><b>Location:</b><br><br></td><td><img src="./img/flags/$cCode.png"></td></tr>
