I need to display the address of the server by which it can be identified in LAN.
I tried using
echo $_SERVER["SERVER_ADDR"]; but this just returns 127.0.0.1 instead of 192.168.xx.xx.
How do i get the second one without the access to WWW?
- well yeah, a server to itself is 127.0.0.1 ...treyBake– treyBake2019-05-31 15:47:35 +00:00Commented May 31, 2019 at 15:47
- @treyBake I know it is, but I need a way to print it's LAN address. Im not asking why SERVER_ADDR isn't working, just stating that it doesn'tCuaox– Cuaox2019-05-31 15:49:03 +00:00Commented May 31, 2019 at 15:49
- also, @treyBake to refer to the link you have posted, this is not a solution since my setup doesn't have access to wwwCuaox– Cuaox2019-05-31 15:50:08 +00:00Commented May 31, 2019 at 15:50
- you don't need www to access a website - just swap the url for yours?treyBake– treyBake2019-05-31 15:52:21 +00:00Commented May 31, 2019 at 15:52
- I don't think you generally get what I'm trying to ask. I want the LAN address of my server. Not the external IP. You have posted a question which asks about external address and uses external sites as a solution. Why would it be a dupilcate?Cuaox– Cuaox2019-05-31 15:54:23 +00:00Commented May 31, 2019 at 15:54

Hope this will help,
function getLanIP(){ exec("ipconfig /all", $output); foreach($output as $line){ if (preg_match("/(.*)IPv4 Address(.*)/", $line)){ $ip = $line; $ip = str_replace("IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . :","",$ip); $ip = str_replace("(Preferred)","",$ip); } } return $ip; } OR something like,
$ip = getLanIP(); echo $ip; <?php function getLocalIp(){ return gethostbyname(trim(`hostname`)); } echo getLocalIp(); ?> answered May 31, 2019 at 15:54

Solution was simpler than I thought it would be.
Just use:
exec ("hostname -I", $ip); echo $ip[0];
