[SOLVED] showing ip

[Birdmansplace]

I am been spending hours trying to figure this out.  I want to so my ip addy on my web site.  Meaning  when "user" goes to my site i want to show them my ip not theres.  Like nslookup.

This may or may not work, worth a shot...

 

$_server['server_ADDR'];

been there done that. being that the webserver is localhost an another computer on my net i have only been able to get the ip of the computer viewing it or computer host name. I am after the host ip.  My isp is dhcp so my ip changes some times daily and i would like to have something that checks and echos my ip or something like that.  I want users to see my ip from any where in the world.

I did a bit of a Google search and it seems that what you are trying to achieve is very difficult. Unless you could run a script (VB, C++) on the server itself every hour for example, store the value in a database?

maybe i will just have to figure out how to do script a nslookup and just have my site preloaded and all they have to do it submit and presto

Just curious, Why would you want to do that?

[Birdmansplace]

well its for my game server and entering a http://whereever.whatever wount connect you to it. so the only way is by ip so to make it easyer for them to just give them the ip address.  And i figured out the php script to do so

 

<?php

$ip = gethostbyname ('yourwebsitehere');

 

echo $ip;

?>

[premiso]

<?php
$serverIP = $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'];

echo $serverIP;
?>

 

That is probably more efficient and less resource intense.

[ILMV]

<?php
$serverIP = $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'];

echo $serverIP;
?>

He has already said that this didn't work...

[premiso]

<?php
$serverIP = $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'];

echo $serverIP;
?>

 

That is probably more efficient and less resource intense.

 

He has already said that this didn't work...

 

He probably literally tried it like $_server['server_ADDR'];

 

Of course that WILL NOT work due to the fact that php is CasE SeNsItIve....Next time post the exact way he should access it.

Edit, my bad, just noticed the 3rd post. But the same goes for the above, if he was trying that it probably would fail due to the case sEnSitIvE issue. Sorry for the rude remark I made.

$_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'] would give the local network address of the server and not the public IP address.

 

being that the webserver is localhost an another computer on my net ...

I am not to bothered by what uses what as long as the computer can handle it.  I am still in the "start up" of my site anyways.  I only have 3 members including me and they haven't been back in a few months.  But for those who want to at least check out go to http://birdmansplace.myftp.org

 

On a side note i could use some smart phper's with my site.  I am on the look for members to add to my staff.
