File_get_contents?

[oni-kun]

When I include a file the person's IP I echo is the servers, not theirs. So I came up with a solution..:

file_get_contents('./disp_ip.php');

 

disp_ip.php has

<?php
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; 
echo $ip;
?> 

 

When I view the page it comes up with the PHP code, I made sure the opening/closing tags were right everywhere.. it just makes no sense.

 

Does file_get_contents() when you open a .php file parse PHP code? or just output the result of what it's supposed to show.. (the IP). I'm so confused.

 

EDIT: I get this

<font style="font-size: 10px;" face="Verdana">Your IP: 
<?php
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; 
echo "$ip";
?></font>

When I view my HTML, on my website.

 

Why does it echo it? It echos the code not the result of the code!

No, it gets the contents of the file!

 

You should use include(), include_once(), require(), or require_once()

if u want to display the code u can use the echo statement or else if u want to run the code then use the include() command for the page.

Thanks, it displays the server IP again.. and for some reason the second use of the $ip variable says "1".. It makes absolutely no sense for the life of me, but this resolved what I meant. Thanks.
