use a local php script to execute a remote php script and return results?

[miles111]

Basically, can I execute a php script from within a php script? Heres
some details:

I'm using a remote script to get my local ip address using
$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REMOTE_ADDR'];

This works. Now I want to run a local php script to call the remote
script and return my ip address. Any Ideas? Thanks! -bp

Why not use $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR']?

Just use a GET redirect (Assuming you're running Apache+php on your local
system):

To get an IP from local to remote (in a script running locally):
header("Location: http://remoteserver.com/ip.php?local=$myIPAddress")

To get an IP from remote to local (in a script running remotely):
header("Location: http://127.0.0.1/ip.php?remote=$theirIPAddress")
