[php] PHP how to get local IP of system

You may try this as regular user in CLI on Linux host:

function get_local_ipv4() {
  $out = split(PHP_EOL,shell_exec("/sbin/ifconfig"));
  $local_addrs = array();
  $ifname = 'unknown';
  foreach($out as $str) {
    $matches = array();
    if(preg_match('/^([a-z0-9]+)(:\d{1,2})?(\s)+Link/',$str,$matches)) {
      $ifname = $matches[1];
      if(strlen($matches[2])>0) {
        $ifname .= $matches[2];
      }
    } elseif(preg_match('/inet addr:((?:25[0-5]|2[0-4]\d|1\d\d|[1-9]\d|\d)(?:[.](?:25[0-5]|2[0-4]\d|1\d\d|[1-9]\d|\d)){3})\s/',$str,$matches)) {
      $local_addrs[$ifname] = $matches[1];
    }
  }
  return $local_addrs;
}

$addrs = get_local_ipv4();
var_export($addrs);

Output:

array (
  'eth0' => '192.168.1.1',
  'eth0:0' => '192.168.2.1',
  'lo' => '127.0.0.1',
  'vboxnet0' => '192.168.56.1',
)
