How to Check Others' IP Address: A Comprehensive Guide

AI Thread Summary
To check another user's IP address on a forum, it is typically not possible unless the forum software explicitly displays this information. In PHP, the user's IP can be accessed using the $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"] variable. Some forums may allow embedding HTML or JavaScript to capture IP addresses, but this is often restricted. Users with dynamic IPs complicate the ability to track multiple accounts. If there are suspicions of a user operating multiple accounts, contacting the forum administrators is recommended. Evidence such as offensive messages can be forwarded to them for investigation, as they may have the tools to check for duplicate IP addresses.

You can't unless the forum software posts it.
 
O, are you talking about those creatures with signs that show the user's ip. In order to do that the forum has to support html code. This forum does not allow html to be embedded in your message or signature. If you do post to a forum that does allow this, you need to do this:

http://javascript.internet.com/user-details/ip-address.html

Well, it would be possible to put an image linked to a remote server (which serves a php scriptes image) and get everyone's IP. you wouldn't be able to tell who's was who's without more hacking though.
 
I would also like to point out that a lot of users have dynamic IPs.

Forward the "coffins" to the admin, and ask him to check for duplicate IPs.

I definitely don't see how this thread has anything to do with PF. Locked.
