My question is if it is possible to use public IPs on a local server, I use WAMP, this is what I need to do some tests in which I use the detected IPs because as local servers can not detect public IP's, when trying to do it, it shows me :: 1 . I would like the last resource to be upload it to host. If it helps them the language I'm using is PHP.
One way is to "ask the public IP" to an external server.
$externalContent = file_get_contents('http://checkip.dyndns.com/');
preg_match('/Current IP Address: \[?([:.0-9a-fA-F]+)\]?/', $externalContent, $m);
$externalIp = $m[1];
I add a script that returns both the detected IP of the client (the browser) and the public IP of the server (local) where the script resides
<?php
function get_client_ip() {
$ipaddress = '';
if (getenv('HTTP_CLIENT_IP'))
$ipaddress = getenv('HTTP_CLIENT_IP');
else if(getenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'))
$ipaddress = getenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR');
else if(getenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED'))
$ipaddress = getenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED');
else if(getenv('HTTP_FORWARDED_FOR'))
$ipaddress = getenv('HTTP_FORWARDED_FOR');
else if(getenv('HTTP_FORWARDED'))
$ipaddress = getenv('HTTP_FORWARDED');
else if(getenv('REMOTE_ADDR'))
$ipaddress = getenv('REMOTE_ADDR');
else
$ipaddress = 'UNKNOWN';
if (strpos($ipaddress, ",") !== false) :
$ipaddress = strtok($ipaddress, ",");
endif;
return $ipaddress;
}
function get_public_ip(){
$externalContent = file_get_contents('http://checkip.dyndns.com/');
preg_match('/Current IP Address: \[?([:.0-9a-fA-F]+)\]?/', $externalContent, $m);
$externalIp = $m[1];
return $externalIp;
}
$theIP = get_client_ip();
$theExternalIP = get_public_ip();
?>
<p><?php echo 'Detected Client IP : '.$theIP.PHP_EOL;?></p>
<p><?php echo 'Detected (Local) External IP : '.$theExternalIP.PHP_EOL;?></p>
