Hi,
I have just finished a template for my website. Its a simple and very basic template. At home page i gonna show the IP address and the country flag of visitor for which i have already written code. But i am not able to test it.
I would appreciate if you people tell me weather my code displaying right country name and flag.

Here is my testing page URL:

Thanks in Advance.

Your IP Address is 192.xx.xx.xx and your are visiting my website from Italy

I'm Definitly not live in Italy

They show my local IP, not external. Try this:
<?php
$external_IP = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
?>
To get external IP, and if you can write what you use now. I never found how i can get local IP

well me being experiance designer i will give you the pros and cons


pros

- fast load
-understandable design

cons

-ip address ( i ighly recommend getting rid of that its tacky and useless to tell people who their ip number is and aslo can be used against them as well since this is the internet

-jsp its not a bad programming language to use but since your just doing a personal site about you php would go better with it, thats just me.

How many websites have you designed?

I would think a 'con' when reviewing a site would be something that detracts from the user's experience. I can't see how whether the site is coded in JSP or PHP or ASP makes one bit of difference to the end user.

Oh yeah, It got me. Got that there flag with 13 stripes and 50 stars, that'd be the US flag, nice work...

OK it worked for me. As for the comment about jsp and php, it does actually matter because jsp is a more powerful language that is meant to be used for very hard and extremely difficult code to create a dynamic and secure website. PHP is more for the everyday user which is why it matters. If the site is just about someone, php should be used because the code will be cleaner and take up less lines decreasing the size of the site and the load time.
