why would you need an IP for your chat? Have the user visit your chat page and serve them the chat. — Joseph, Jan 29 '13 at 10:57

You cannot retrieve user IP with just Javascript . Javascript is a client side programming language, so you should use AJAX and connect to server to get the IP address with a server side programming language.

UPDATE:

You can get Dynamic and Static ip with this code in PHP:

$domain=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$domain1 = isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']);
echo "Viewer's Server's IP Address: <strong>$domain</strong> - ";
echo "Viewer's PC IP Address: <strong>$domain1</strong>";

If you want to return with json you can use this :

$domain=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$domain1 = isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']);
$data = array('static' => $domain1,
              'dynamic' => $domain);
echo json_encode($data);

can u help me in this regard? – G V S Vinayak Jan 29 '13 at 11:08
@GVSVinayak check my answer with sample PHP code – MajAfy Jan 29 '13 at 11:27
This code won't work: `Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ':' on line 3`. Also, `$_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']` can be spoofed. – Cerbrus Jan 29 '13 at 11:30
@Cerbrus Sorry, I updated my answer – MajAfy Jan 29 '13 at 11:33
`echo "Viewer's PC IP Address: $domain1";` --> in here, `$domain1` is a boolean. Also, `'dynamic'` is a inaccurate name for a `IP`. But you're basically saying what I suggested now, any way. – Cerbrus Jan 29 '13 at 11:35

No need to use AJAX.
In your PHP:

$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']

That's the connected client's IP, assuming they're not using a Proxy and whatnot.
Add this IP to a variable in your script if you need to use it in your JS.

if my site is in html how can i retrive ip address? – G V S Vinayak Jan 29 '13 at 11:06
Then you're going to have to make a AJAX request to your server, where the server returns the IP. The point is, that AJAX call requires a server-side file (php) to return the IP, you might as well just add the IP through php immediately. So, what I'm trying to say is: There is absolutely **no point** in making a AJAX request to get the IP. You're going to have to use a server-side language one way or the other, so you might as well limit the amount of requests while you're at it. – Cerbrus Jan 29 '13 at 11:09

Like I said, just get the IP from php's `$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']` – Cerbrus Jan 29 '13 at 11:26
