$ch = curl_init("http://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/".$ipAdd);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

Answer 1

The "easiest" path is going to be to find the surrounding text & extract based on that.

If you're willing to step your dedication to this up, you can use something like http://simplehtmldom.sourceforge.net/ & go from there.

edit: actually you can use this (it is built into php5) - http://php.net/manual/en/book.dom.php more specifically, this - http://www.php.net/manual/en/domdocument.loadhtml.php
