[kwlug-disc] Getting external IP

[Khalid Baheyeldin]

Do you have any servers hosted outside of your home?

You can put this code in myip.php, then access it as:

http://your.outside.server-ip-or-domain/myip.php

Will print out your IP address.

<?php
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
header("X-Client-IP-Address: $ip");
print $ip . "\n";
exit(0);
?>

This is what I do since I already have servers at hosting companies,
and I don't want to be subject to yet another company that can change
their API, shut their services, ...etc.
