Help: About code of getting IP adress

[imon9]

hi Rejectto: i know this is un-related to HFS, but i was hoping u can help me out here...

HFS has a very robust way of getting the External IP adress, what is the code to do so?
(i downloaded your source-code but i dunno how to read it..
yeap! u're right...i'm not a programmer.. i'm just helping out a fren to ask coz he needs it for a VOIP plugin for Miranda)..if u are not too busy, perhaps u can show me some light here

i found this in ur code, is this the code my fren would be needing:

IP_SERVICES : array [0..0] of string = (
    'http://www.rejetto.com/ip.php'
  );

u mind providing me the ip.php code??

from what i understand, u use your website as a reference point for other to get their external IP very noble of u, but how do u ensure this will work if your website is down?

Code: [Select]

if ($ip = getenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR')) echo $ip;
else echo getenv('REMOTE_ADDR');

i do not ensure
i would like to use more "providers", not just my site, but till now i found none giving always the right address. indded, that array, once contained more than one address. i had to remove them because people complained.

it seems to be running very good, just incase urs wont work, have a backup is good

well
i remember i had 4-5 addresses for such service.
then i had to remove all of them because only mine was giving always the right answer.
i don't remember what the problem was, i don't remember anything about this.
i searched through the forum and found nothing. searched ICQ histories, nothing.
does someone remember?
i've been stupid not writing a note about it.
now i will re-add URLs, and hope all goes well, or, this time, i will write a note
