It seems as if I cannot use the $_SERVER
vars in a command line script in PHP as the return seems to be blank? If this is the case then does anyone have a suggestion for getting the IP of the server I am running the script on?
Thanks in advance.
use grep command
SERVER_ADDR
is defined by the webserver as CGI environment variable, and depends upon which interface it listens to. A server might have multiple network addresses.
You can fetch it from either ip addr
or ifconfig
, preferrably looking for the eth0 interface (most common).
preg_match("/inet (addr:)?(?!127)(\d+(\.\d+){3})/", `ip addr`, $m);
