I need to get local IP of computer like 192.*.... Is this possible with PHP?
I need IP address of system running the script, but I do not need the external IP, I need his local network card address.

From CLI
PHP < 5.3.0
$localIP = getHostByName[php_uname['n']];
PHP >= 5.3.0
$localIP = getHostByName[getHostName[]];

This is an old post, but get it with this:
function getLocalIp[]
{ return gethostbyname[trim[`hostname`]]; }
For example:
die[ getLocalIp[] ];
Found it on another site, do not remove the trim command because otherwise you will get the computers name.
BACKTICKS [The special quotes]: It works because PHP will attempt to run whatever it's between those "special quotes" [backticks] as a shell command and returns the resulting output.
gethostbyname[trim[`hostname`]];
Is very similar [but much more efficient] than doing:
$exec = exec["hostname"]; //the "hostname" is a valid command in both windows and linux
$hostname = trim[$exec]; //remove any spaces before and after
$ip = gethostbyname[$hostname]; //resolves the hostname using local hosts resolver or DNS

A reliable way to get the external IP address of the local machine would be to query the routing table, although we have no direct way to do it in PHP.
However we can get the system to do it for us by binding a UDP socket to a public address, and getting its address:
$sock = socket_create[AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, SOL_UDP];
socket_connect[$sock, "8.8.8.8", 53];
socket_getsockname[$sock, $name]; // $name passed by reference
// This is the local machine's external IP address
$localAddr = $name;
socket_connect
will not cause any network traffic because it's an UDP socket.

try this [if your server is Linux]:
$command="/sbin/ifconfig eth0 | grep 'inet addr:' | cut -d: -f2 | awk '{ print $1}'";
$localIP = exec [$command];
echo $localIP;

Depends what you mean by local:
If by local you mean the address of the server/system executing the PHP code, then there are still two avenues
to discuss. If PHP is being run through a web server, then you can get the server address by reading $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR']. If PHP is being run through a command line interface, then you would likely have to shell-execute ipconfig [Windows] / ifconfig [*nix] and grep out the address.
If by local you mean the remote address of the website visitor, but not their external IP address [since you specifically said 192.*], then you are out of luck. The whole point of NAT routing is to hide that address. You cannot identify the local addresses of individual computers behind an IP address, but there are some tricks [user agent, possibly mac address] that can help differentiate if there are multiple computers accessing from the same IP.

hostname[1] can tell the IP address: hostname --ip-address, or as man says, it's better to use hostname --all-ip-addresses

It is very simple and above answers are complicating things. Simply you can get both local and public ip addresses using this method.

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',
]

You can use this php code :
$localIP = getHostByName[getHostName[]];
// Displaying the address
echo $localIP;
If you want get ipv4 of your system, Try this :
shell_exec["ip route get 1.2.3.4 | awk '{print $7}'"]

$localIP = gethostbyname[trim[exec["hostname"]]];
I tried in Windows pc and Its worked and also think that Will work on Linux to.

It is easy one. You can get the host name by this simple code.
$ip = getHostByName[getHostName[]];
Or you can also use $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] to get the hostname.

$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']
It worked for me.

For Windows:
exec['arp -a',$sa];
$ipa = [];
foreach[$sa as $s]
if [strpos[$s,'Interface:']===0]
$ipa[] = explode[' ',$s][1];
print_r[$ipa];
The $ipa array returns all local IPs of the system

I fiddled with this question for a server-side php [running from Linux terminal]
I exploded 'ifconfig' and trimmed it down to the IP address.
Here it is:
$interface_to_detect = 'wlan0';
echo explode[' ',explode[':',explode['inet addr',explode[$interface_to_detect,trim[`ifconfig`]][1]][1]][1]][0];
And of course change 'wlan0' to your desired network device.
My output is:
192.168.1.5

In windows
$exec = 'ipconfig | findstr /R /C:"IPv4.*"';
exec[$exec, $output];
preg_match['/\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+/', $output[0], $matches];
print_r[$matches[0]];

If you are in a dev environment on OS X, connected via Wifi:
echo exec["/sbin/ifconfig en1 | grep 'inet ' | cut -d ' ' -f2"];

To get the public IP of your server:
$publicIP = getHostByName[$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']];
echo $publicIP;
// or
$publicIP = getHostByName[$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']];
echo $publicIP;
If none of these global variables are available in your system or if you are in a LAN, you can query an external service to get your public IP:
$publicIP = file_get_contents['//api.ipify.org/'];
echo $publicIP;
// or
$publicIP = file_get_contents['//checkip.amazonaws.com/'];
echo $publicIP;
