Easy to get the external ip adress, using the $SERVER var, but I want the local ip.
My situation isnt normal by the way. Basicly im building simple intranet ( i want to run this on a local area network (will be hundreds of people) not on the web, so for logins im gonna be using local ip's, is there any way I can get them easily?
$HTTP_SERVER_VA RS['HTTP_X_FORWARD ED_FOR'] <- people have said this would work.. but would it actually work in a lan invroment, im not so sure.
Thanks, Josh

Hi.
Even when connecting from a LAN, "$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']" should give you the local IP of the computer that sent the request.
I doubt "$HTTP_SERVER_V ARS['HTTP_X_FORWARD ED_FOR']" works, as it is on of a few non-standard headers, sent by some proxy servers in an attempt to reveal the actual IP of users trying to hide their identity by going through a proxy.
oh ok cool thanks heaps.
So how do you tell pc's apart on the internt if they are shareing the same internet connection? I remember having this problem at school, you log in on one pc, and it logs in on all pcs, because all the pc's had the same external ip? is there any way of getting local ips in that example?
cheers, Josh

When you connect to the internet via a router, the router is essentially working as a proxy server. It makes the request for you and redirects any response to you.
As such, there is really no way to differentiate between the local machines, as the IP will just point back to the router.
Unless it explicitly set a header with the local IP address, which I find unlikely due to security reasons.
Not to mention that a local IP address is useless to anybody outside the LAN.
If you want to find out, just do a "print_r($_SERV ER)" and see if your local IP is in there somewhere. You would obviously have to try this from a remote computer.

I have been trying to GD working on HPUX for about, oh 2 months now,
and have come across something that was interesting.
I have this configuration:
HPUX 11
Bundled Apache 2.0/PHP 4.3.4
Basically, the reason GD is so hard to get to work, is that it has
hard coded dependencies on libraries.

Hi,
I have installed PHP 5.0.3 for OS X. I have read in several places that
PEAR is included in recent installations of PHP. I'm having trouble
getting PEAR DB working. How would I know or test to see if it was
included in my installation?
Just in case it helps I've attached the phpinfo() configure line below
Thanks,
