Show IP

[krammer]

Could someone tell me how to show the ip of the server it's hosted the page? i have dynamic ip and sometimes i need to know the ip of my computer at home when i'm at other place so i would like to have a page to show the current server local ip

Thanks in advance

I get this error:
Notice: Undefined index: SERVER_ADDR in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\index.php on line 4

[wpearsall]

<?php

error_reporting(E_ERROR);

$remote_ip = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");

echo "Remote IP Address (IE: Yours): " . $remote_ip;

?>

Call it IP.php

then go to: http://MySite.com/IP.php

and it will reveal ur IP, NM where you are, work / home / etc.. well your EXTERNAL IP,,

If ur work is behind a router / proxy server, it will reveal that ip..

But ne how, try that

wpearsall you should read the question. He wants the server ip address not the user's ip address.

What version of PHP do you have? Give this a try:

echo $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['SERVER_ADDR'];

Oh yeh, so he does

BUT:

If he uses HTTP_SERVER_VARS[SERVER_ADDR]

it will show how he called his page.. IE:
http://MySite.com/MyPHPFile.php -> MySite.com
http://*.*.*.*/MyPHPFile.php -> *.*.*.*

Unless he has VHosts setup, then it will return his virtual host address...

And then u still need to know the address, to get to the page?

When I ran that code (the one I supplied) on my server, I got the IP. And I used this address: http://www.vbshelf.com/test.php

See for yourself.

Support for the superglobals ($_SERVER, $_POST, $_COOKIE, etc) was added in 4.1. If you have a version of PHP lower than that, that would be why it wasn't working.

Why not just use $HTTP_HOST ?

Because it's deprecated.
