note 80569 added to function.socket-create

to ionic and david... I'm just taking a stab at this, but wouldn't some combination of gethostbynamel and php_uname('n') provide you with the world-facing IP address without making a system call or using expensive socket operations? Don't get me wrong, socket operations have their place, but if you just need the server IP from a cli script, socket operations seem expensive. :) <?php print_r(gethostbynamel(php_uname('n'))); ?> ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 170.35.224.65 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.socket-create.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/80569 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80569/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80569/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80569/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80569/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80569/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80569/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80569 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/80569 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
