从 $.get 保存 Javascript 变量中的值并在 PHP 变量中使用它

Question

I am getting some basic info of the visitor on my site using javascript.

var userinfo = "";
//printing user info
$.get("http://ipinfo.io", function (response) {
  alert("IP: " + response.ip);
  alert("Location: " + response.city + ", " + response.region);
  alert(JSON.stringify(response, null, 4));
  userinfo = (JSON.stringify(response,null,4)); //saving json in js variable (not working, it says undefined)
}, "jsonp");

Then I want to access this value in my PHP variable:

 <?php
echo $getuserinfo ; // How to store JS var here in this php var?
 ?>

The JS variable value is not being saved, what I am doing wrong? And how can I store JS variable value in PHP variable?

Answer 1

You could make a stat page/api that you make a ajax call to from javascript.

$.ajax({
 type: "POST",
 url: '/setstats.php',
 data: {userdata: userinfo},
 success: function(){
  console.log("Userdata send");
 },
 dataType: "json"
});

This will first be avalible at a later time then when the page initally loads, but you could now have it saved in the session for the next requests.

Answer 2

You are using jQuery.get method.

This method support a parameter called Data

data
Type: PlainObject or String
A plain object or string that is sent to the server with the request.

After it is sent to the server to http://ipinfo.io it is available in the called script (index.php or what you have as default) in the $_GET array.

If you send data: {var1: value1, var2: value2} you will have $_GET["var1"] and $_GET["var2"]

Simply send data: userinfo and in php do a var_dump($_GET) and check what you got

Answer 3

I solved it by using the PHP version of the API:

  function ip_details($ip) {
   $json = file_get_contents("http://ipinfo.io/{$ip}");
   $details = json_decode($json);
   //echo $ip;
   return $details;
   }
  $details = ip_details($userIp);
