Okay, this is for PHP versions 4.1.0 and later what version does your host run?

It wont work for me :S...

I dont know what version of php my server has (its a free server called Lycos), is there not an other way to make this?

[catbert303]

You could use ASP, but again that relies on your host allowing you to use ASP scripts. Did you try replacing the $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], with $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REMOTE_ADDR'] in the PHHP file?

Thank You , catbert303
I just completed the Apache / php install .
and it is working.
I loaded the ip test to the server as .html and it displayed the code in the box.
BUT when I saved it as a .php file it worked. Thank You Again.
I have been puting php off because I figured if I couldn't even
install it, how the heck could I could ever use it.

For anyone running XP and struggling as I was,I ( with the help of
catbert303, and alot of reading) made the following changes:
==================================================
PHP
Xtract the zip into a new sub-directory called c:\php4win.
To configure PHP4, create a sub-directory called c:\phpWeb. This is where your PHP files
will reside. Rename the file c:\php4win\php.ini-dist to php.ini. Open this php.ini file
with a text editor and change the doc_root and extension_dir lines so that they read as follows -

doc_root = "c:\phpWeb" ;

extension_dir = "c:\php4win"

Then move the two-file php.ini and php4ts.dll to c:\windows. If you haven't already,
make sure you delete the php.ini file from c:\php4win as otherwise it may cause conflicts
later.
==================================================
Configure Apache for PHP4
search DocumentRoot change to
DocumentRoot "C:/phpWeb"

search <Directory change to
#<Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs">
<Directory "C:/phpweb">

Then under the line AddType application/x-tar .tgz add the lines:

ScriptAlias /php4/ "C:/php4win/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php4/php.exe"

==================================================

THEN I saved published my .swf in the C:/phpweb directory,
added <PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="****.swf?ip=<?php echo $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; ?>"> from Catbert 303,
and saved it as testip.php
and DONE it works!

==================================================
Along with the help of Catbert 303, I found these two tutorials helpful
a tutorial by Jeffrey Hill,and a tutorial at
http://in.geocities.com/samdarshipal...-php-mysql.htm .
I searched and read sifting through all the docs, files... for two days straight. I hope this helps others as much as it has
empowered me.
...And Thank You FlashKit .
