Slackware 10.2 Apache Log file

Display IP Address

On a remote server to display the IP of the the requesting computer I used this

<?php
$ip = getenv('REMOTE_ADDR');
PRINT("$ip");
?>

You might be able to use http://checkip.dyndns.org:8245/ and clean it up a bit with grep and or sed

Save Page Results as Text File

Using the php page from above on my hosted site, so from my home computer I can use lynx ro return just my IP address, (you use this on the client to store the IP address in a text file).

lynx -dump "http://www.virtual-weltanschauung.com/t3.php" > ip.log

Whereas with a web brower it would simply display the IP number, this puts it wherever you want it.
