How do I find out my server hostname and IP Address?

Create a .php script that looks like this, upload it to your site, and pull it up in your browser.

<?

# Get IP by global var or reverse dns lookup (if global var not set)
if ( $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'] != "" ) {
   $my_ip_address = $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'];
} elseif ( gethostbyname(php_uname(n)) != "" ) {
   $my_ip_address = gethostbyname(php_uname(n));
}

echo "My hostname: [".php_uname(n)."]<br>";
echo "My IP address: [".$my_ip_address."]";

?>
