PHP traceroute

[slpctrl]

How would I go about getting the traceroute results from an IP and writing them to a log? I'm trying to write an IP logger, and I'd like for it to log their location too but I can't quite figure it out. Thanks.

Actually, here's the code for the whole thing I've got so far. It works, that's not the problem. I want it to write the location too:

 

<?php
function clean ($var)
{
return htmlspecialchars($var);
}
$ip = clean($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
$entry = "<b>IP:</b> $ip<br /> \r\n";
$fp = fopen('iplog.html', "a") or die('Cannot open logfile');
fwrite($fp, $entry);
fclose($fp);
###OUTPUT IMAGE###
$file = "imagesource.gif";
$fp = fopen($file, "r") or die('Cannot grab image source');
$content = fread($fp, filesize($file));
header("Content-type: image/gif");
echo $content;
fclose($fp);
?>

 

 

Now, this is a .gif ip logger for use on forums and things. So don't really worry about the output image, I put the inside of a .gif file, and wrote this to .htaccess:

 

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .gif

 

So that my server will handle .gif files as .php. Then I added imagesource.gif but none of that really matters, I need location  ???

use a system call to tracert, you can put the results in a string or array.

 

look at exec

 

should be easy, as long as your script has enough rights.

I'm hosting it locally. Now, my tracert command (I know, I could use passthru() ) But, it doesn't give me the location, here's an example of what I might come up with:

So no system commands really return a location  :-\

Anyone?

you could capture a whois and get an address from that.

If you have the ip address you can use something like the geoIP location data from maxmind...it's a csv (that should be imported to a database) that you can use to determine a location based on IP.
