Hi,
I am writing a PHP app for a small business (family member owes me
after this...) but they need to get their box back before I am
finished. They have a DSL with dynamic ip and I need to be able to
SSH in to their box, so I need to write a script that i have run as a
cron job that will email me the current public IP of their DSL modem
(as it will change). I am not sure the best way to go about this....
I was hoping someone could give me a suggestion of a PHP script....
Thanks for any help. 8 4965

Don't make it hard on yourself. Check out one of the free dynamic IP
name servers such as dyndns.org.
BTW, there's a good possibility you won't be able to SSH to their box,
but that's not a PHP problem.

If you do want to do it as cronjob as you said, you could do http
request on many of the free online ip address displayer's and parse the
IP out of it.

You say cron job - that implies *nix.
Why not write it in shell, and just add a line saying 'mail'
Getting the IP address is trickier: need to interrogate their NAT router.
Thats probably going to be a telnet script or SNMP.
I THINK ther are snmp tools for Linux..
None of this has to do with PHP

If it is a Unix script - then you'll find that most DHCP clients allow
you to hang a script off lease renewals - which is a far batter way of
doing it than using cron (but this is getting way OT) Try asking on a
newsgroup related to your OS for specifics.

Only if they use NAT. If the machine is directly routed, here's a quick
way of determining the IP address from the command line:
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 | grep -o "inet addr:[0-9\.]*" | sed 's/[^0-9\.]//g'
Where "eth0" is the interface (i.e. network card or virtual network card)
to check.

Yup. And there are models of Adsl modems that will do automated dyndns
updates (you don't even need a dyndns updater on the PC).
If you do want to do it as cronjob as you said, you could do http request
on many of the free online ip address displayer's and parse the IP out of
it.
For instance in cron I use:
/bin/wget -q -O - http://www.whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp
No filtering necessary
