Hello Michael, please go to your Bash-Shell. There you type: MYIP=`/sbin/ifconfig ppp0 grep inet | cut -d: -f2 | cut -d -f1` ; $MYIP has now your dyn IP Adress.

Oh man, Then you write a short script, that whenever IP changes then start it anew.

Maybe I'm not understanding your situation properly so please correct me if I'm wrong. URLs should have the FQDN not IP address. DNS was created so that fixed, easy to remember, names could be given to computers not numbers. The numbers (IP address) may change. If you are running a server, its hostname should be fixed, e.g. mybox.myisp.com whilst its ip address may change. I suggest that you use $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] in the URL. Its populated with Apache under linux, but whatever you are using you should have a way to get the hostname. Best if you are running a server is to get a static ip address from your isp but few will have them these days (I'm on a static IP address from Demon Internet). As long as your hostname remains the same you will have little problem. Your isp should provide forward DNS for your hostname (they should provide reverse too). Maybe for dns you may need something like dyndns.org. Some broadband ISPs use hostnames based upon the IP address e.g. dsl-111.222.333.444.myisp.com. It saves them playing with DNS and are intended for end users (who would usually have no problem with it as they would not be trying to run a server). Hope this helps.

Hello all, Oh my god As a perl hacker I did it that easy way: Please go to your Linux Bash-Shell. There you type: MYIP=`/sbin/ifconfig ppp0 grep inet | cut -d: -f2 | cut -d -f1` ; $MYIP has now your dyn IP Adress.

In Apache it's $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'] But I don't know if this applies to IIS as well. -Kevin - Original Message - From: Charles likes PHP [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 06, 2003 1:45 PM Subject: [PHP] Get your *own* IP...?!

Re: [PHP] Get your *own* IP...?!
Use the super-global variable $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'] (or another solution might be to generate relative, rather than absolute, URLs: /somedir/somepage.php instead of http://192.168.1.1/somedir/somepage.php) On 1/6/03 12:45 PM, Charles likes PHP [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Does anyone know a way to fetch your own IP-adress?
