You can only view the correct IP if you're not in the same network. You should
use Dynamic IP Update client in order to update your IP when it changes. A few
of the DNS services that offer this, are listed below.

sorry I think I need to correctly specify....
I need a webpage to display my servers current ip adress so that people on the internet can view it.
I dont know if there is a way that i can use a tool similar to the no-ip updater tool to make a webpage do this but if i could it would be greatly appreciated.
Hopefully you understand what exactly im asking for... i dont need a dns updater i need a webpage.
Thak you in advance

The SERVER_ADDR environment variable holds the address of the server machine. Try that.

This Environment variable doesn't exist (Tested with PHP). :/
| Code: | <?php
echo $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'];
?>

Perhaps it isn't available in Abyss then, although I doubt it.
<?=$_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR']?> gives me 62.193.234.112.

| I tried mine using localhost, which didn't return 127.0.0.1 as the server IP. |

The information that should go in this variable is not very useful. First of all, your computer can have 2 or more IP addresses. To which IP SERVER_ADDR should be set?
Second, if you are behind a router, all you can get are your local and LAN IP addresses, which are useless for the outside visitors.

what you could do is get a mate to host a script:
| Code: |
<?php
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
echo $ip;
?>
|
I think :D
Then all you need to do to get your IP is include("http://thedomain.com/script.php") this should then echo your IP

I've never looked through the apache httpd source code (Which I assume is the best idea.), but off the top of my head, resolve the HTTP_HOST header, if possible?
Likewise, you could do this in PHP by using gethostbyname($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']).

Apache fills this variable with the local IP address that was contacted to process the request. So it will contain your LAN IP if you're behind a router.

What is all the trouble about?
It's really quite simple any of the methods that show a local IP will work for people outside of the Server's LAN, will they not? |

What, like the address of the network interface?
I haven't ever used this variable to my knowlage so I don't really know.
MrWiseOne: If my assumption is correct, then no, it will show the IP of the network adaptor, and will be of no use to most home users.

Problem : You are attempting to answer questions well beyond your skill and experience level.
Solution : Stop.
Clear enough? :roll:

I agree. If you have no feasable answer because you cant understand it, do not post to begin with.

Yes, it's the network interface IP address.
