Obtaining IP addresses and other non-web related data
Posted: Sat Mar 19, 2005 2:07 pm
Hi All,
I have recently set-up a games hosting comapny as an extension to my web-design/hosting one.
Although there are some 'ok' control panels out there for starting/stopping services, I would like to build my own custom one to fit in with the rest of my site.
However, I am at a loss as to how to obtain things like Microsoft Services, or player IP addresses through PHP. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Also, how could I create or use those IP addresses in order to then stop those people connecting to the server, depending on certain criteria.
I am happy doing the coding but am just not sure what existing variables would come in handy.
Any help would be much appreciated.
