To change existing url base on IPs

[newsiness]

Hi,

Let's say my page has been coded with <a href="http://abc.com/a.xls">A</a>.
I have 2 constant ips to browse the page,
1st IP: 123.123.12.12
2nd IP: 124.124.12.12

1st ip to browse the page, the link url is http://abc.com/a.xls
2nd ip to browse the page, the link url is http://xyz.com/a.xls

Do you think it is doable?
Would pay USD10 for javascript.

Thanks

Hi,

A better way to do this would be PHP. Replace:

<a href="http://abc.com/a.xls">A</a>

with:

<a href="http://<?php echo ($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR' == '123.123.12.12']) ? 'abc.com/a.xls' : 'xyz.com/a.xls'; ?>">A</a>

Now rename your HTML file to end with ".php", upload it and try it out. The abc.com link will show if your IP is 123.123.12.12, otherwise the xyz.com link will show.


I don't think it is possible for JavaScript to detect the IP address directly. You can use a trick using SSI to detect the IP address, then javascript to display a different link. You may need to rename your HTML to end .shtml for this to work:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
var ip = '<!--#echo var="REMOTE_ADDR"-->';
if (ip == '123.123.12.12') {
    document.write('<a href="http://abc.com/a.xls">A</a>');
} else {
    document.write('<a href="http://xyz.com/a.xls">A</a>');
}
//  -->
</script>
