I was looking around for an address book php script to turn into an IP management phone book providing a point of contact per IP address. I can't find any address book php scripts that aren't cheezy, buggy, or worthwhile to hack.
phpip seems to have the same fields and goals of an address book, but I wondered if there was an easier or better way to enter user point of contact information by IP address.
A while ago, I hacked an address php script to steal the user's IP address from the web environment variables passed to the web server. I recorded this IP as part of the user's name, phone, address, etc. This way, users wouldn't have to know about their IP#.
You might be interested to look at http://sourceforge.net/projects/iphawk/ in IP management. It's an inactive project, but useful. They were only concerned about IP space rather than assigning points of contact for each IP address. I didn't want to write an address/phone book php script just to include a user's IP.
The idea was to have all the users of the organization go to a website http://somewhere.com/phonebook/ and enter their POC information themselves. I would maybe use their IP (stolen from their session variable) as a key in the index tables.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
