Good work! simple but clean and useful.

Sites like http://proxyipchecker.com/ surely should use your script to improve their proxy check services.

The last comment that is interesting too, I’m looking at that thread now.

thanks

Matt, have you checked this thread http://www.wickedfire.com/design-development-programming/88726-php-proxy-checker-using-curl_multi.html ? Perhaps there is something for you. Not sure…

print $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

in php tags of course

you don’t need a whatismyip function just upload this script to a server other than the one with the proxychecker.php script

your own ip checker web page

that’ means you don’t have to extract anything, just get your ip like this:

$myIpAddress = get_file_contents( $ipurl );

Okay dude, I am seriously impressed. Jealous in fact of your prolific programming prowess. You are a god amongst ants.

Now, do you want to really, really, really impress me? I know you do. So here’s how in two simple, easy peasy weasy wittle step:

1. Modify todo 4:

/*
* TODO 4
* Load proxies from a file or database.
* Return array of [IP]:[port] proxies or NULL.
*/

To this:

/*
* TODO 4
* Load proxies by scraping various listings from the Net via google search like so: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=safari&rls=en&q=proxy+list+free+port+high+anonymity+new+zealand+%2B%22united+states%22+china&aq=f&oq=&aqi=
* Process all the proxies to see what’s good.
* Store those in a db to be tested at interval
* Return array of [IP]:[port] proxies or NULL.
* Rinse and repeat
*/

2. Share code with seozero admirers, or alternatively create an API that admirers can query against for the spiffiest, freshyist proxies ever!

…Or, recommend some other way to automate grabbing good proxies (even paid).

Me wants!

I’ve started the code, and added “http://www.google.com” in the what is myip function, but i get the error, can’t obtain ip address – i’ve tried to put in my own websites, but i get the same result.

Any ideas what i’m doing wrong?
