$_SERVER

[Archadian]

Does anyone know why $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'] isn't returning anthing? and which global array i should use to return "localhost" and 127.0.0.1 (localhost default IP) Thanks

 

I use Windows 2003 Server IIS 6.0

bump - Anyone know. The reason i ask is because i don't want a script to be able to be seen by going directly to it through URL. I want to make the script to output Hacking Attempt when someone tries to view it with IE, etc. but make it where only the server can read it. Thanks

Run this to list the available values

 

<?php
echo '<pre>', print_r($_SERVER, true), '</pre>';
?>

1) Why do you need a variable that holds "localhost". Can't you use it directly? Same question goes for 127.0.0.1.

 

 

2) From one of the comments I found in the manual:

To get the server address, you can use $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR']. However, this only works when your PHP process is running on a webserver, not when running PHP as CLI. Here is a function which will also return the server address when running on linux (eth0 is hardcoded as the network interface, modify if necessary).

 

<?php

function getServerAddress() {
   if($_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR']) {
       return $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'];
   }
  
   $ifconfig = shell_exec('/sbin/ifconfig eth0');
   preg_match('/addr:([\d\.]+)/',$ifconfig,$match);
  
   return $match[1];
}

?>

 

 

 

Orio.

bump -  How do i make $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'] available? or does anyone know how i can secure the script so that only include() and the server can read it and anything else it gives a die() error Thanks

I'm running XP, IIS 5 and $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'] is available.

 

If you are calling the page via your IIS server it should be there.

 

If I use the IIS control panel then on the Directory Security tab there is a section titled "IP and Domain name restrictions" but it is greyed-out/locked on mine. Check yours. You may be able to affect it from there.

Mine isn't locked out but i have no clue how to make SERVER_ADDR available :/
