+phpIPAddress

+
+I wrote this to save the IP address of the client that downloads it.  
+This was mostly done to overcome having a box on on dynamic IP address that I had to access from the outside world.  
+
+It's rather simple, if $save_to_file is set to TRUE the script will save the IP address and hostname to a file.  Otherwise it'll just diplsay it in the web browser.  
+By default this file is called ipaddress.txt and is located in the same directory as the PHP script itself.  
+
+The best way to use this is to have the machine who's IP you're trying to keep track of download the script every few minutes. 
+You'll need to place the script itself on a webserver that is accessible (and preferably pretty reliable) to the cleint machine.  
+
+Simply add this to your cleint's crontab:
+
+*/15	*	*	*	*	wget -O - -q -t 1 example.com/phpipaddress/index.php >/dev/null 2>&1
+
+You can substitute wget for your favorite http client.
