I am attempting to move my old asp code over to asp.net but have run into the following problem. Inside a class page I am trying to get the host address. The Request.UserHostAddress function works perfect in the aspx page but will not work in the vb class. This is because Request is part of the Page method which is not available to classes. The obvious work around is to pass in the address from the aspx page, but I would like to know if there is a better way this could be done. I appreciate any help that can be provided.
Thanks
Jason

Why do you continue to ask PHP questions in a forum about HTML/ASP/ASP.NET? Mad | :mad:

You might get a better response by finding a PHP forum.

This is obviously a site and forum dedicated primarily to MS technologies. You will get better responses by searching a PHP oriented site. Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

Or by not deleting the post so that when someone who actually knows PHP stops by can answer it. What's the question and who asked it?

me.

i noticed a function, unset, and wondered if you were supposed to use it to destroy variables at the end of functions.

You can use unset() to explicitly destroy variables, but variables are destroyed at the end of the life of their scope anyway. So, unless they are static or have global scope they'll be cleaned up at the end of the function. For instance, if I use a local variable $foo in the function bar, it'll be destroyed anyway when bar returns.

In short, you don't have to. And, you'll find this method of variable handling holds true in many languages other than just PHP.

Hmmm...ok, I'm stumped here, reading Professional ASP.NET from Wrox and it says in Ch. 23 that to get the IP address of the user from the Request object you use UserHostAddress and to get the browser you should use UserAgent, however I can't get either to work at all, does anyone have any clues, the only example I have seen is a really ugly iteration of Request.ServerVariables through several arrays which I feel is a tid bit much. Where am I going wrong here? Confused | :confused:

Thanks in advance.

Actually Mazy, I am pretty happy with it so far, there are a lot of examples, just not quite sure why I can't get the above to work. I will figure it out eventually, hopefully sooner than later though. Smile | :)

The Request.UserAgent and Request.UserHostAddress should work fine.

Try creating a file called "test.aspx", and paste in the following:

<script language="vb" runat="server">
Sub Page_Load(Sender As Object, E As EventArgs)
	Response.Write(Request.UserAgent & "<br />")
	Response.Write(Request.UserHostAddress & "<br />")
End Sub
</script>

Load that page and see what happens. On my machine, the response is:

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; Q312461; .NET CLR 1.0.3705)
127.0.0.1

Yeah, I actually got it last night, I was trying a little too damn hard thinking that I would need to do something like Response.Write(Request.ServerVariables("UserAgent")) when all I needed to do was drop the ServerVariables("") stuff. Thanks for the response. Smile | :)

I've had a Brinkster website and it wasn't too bad.
They do advertise it as more of a demo/prototype/test environment than a production site.

I guess that that would explain the performance issues.

What server software is it? If it is IIS (Internet Information Services), it comes with NT, 2000, and XP Pro. All he has to do is install the .NET runtime and it should install it. I am not sure if PWS will support ASP.NET. If it is non MS software chances are it won't work.
