I posted a while ago that I added a page with ASP Classic to show your current IP. This worked because the site was being hosted in IIS with ASP.NET, ASP Classic, and PHP all enabled but I have now moved to a PHP only host and wanted to quickly get the IP lookup working again (I use it quite often).

I can potter around with PHP and would be able to figure it out but I did a quick search to find a converter and discovered this great online tool which did the work for me!

Here’s the original code.

<%@Language="VBScript"%>
<%
If Request.QueryString("debug") = "1" Then
  Response.Write("<pre>")
  For Each x in Request.ServerVariables
    Response.Write(X & " = " & Request.ServerVariables(X) & vbCrLf)
  Next
  Response.Write("</pre>")
Else
  If Len(Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR")) = 0 Then
    Response.Write Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR")
  Else
    Response.Write Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR")
  End If
End If
%>

 

Here’s the converted result.

<? 
if ($_GET["debug"] == "1") {
  echo "<pre>";
  foreach ($_SERVER as $x) {
    echo $X." = ".$_SERVER[$X]."\r\n";
  }
  echo "</pre>";
}
else {
  if (strlen($_SERVER["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"]) == 0) {
    echo $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"];
  }
  else {
    echo $_SERVER["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"];
  }
}
?>

 

It works exactly the same as before but this time it’s PHP. You can try it with the same link: What is my IP?
