PHP : Get IP from interface
Raw
get_ip.php
// !! this gist was created in 2015, it doesn't work on most modern distributions !!
// e.g: get_ip("eth0");
function get_ip($interface) {
$interface = escapeshellarg($interface);
$pattern = "/inet addr:(\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+)/";
$text = shell_exec("ifconfig $interface");
preg_match($pattern, $text, $matches);
return $matches[1];
}

You've got a typo...

$text = shell_exec("ifconfig $internface"); <---- $interface not $internface!

Fixed, thanks @AlexNodex !

Newer systems won't work with your regex either

$pattern = "/inet (?:addr\:)?(\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+)/";

this will allow an optional addr: part which newer flavours of Ubuntu (and probably others) leave out of the ifconfig command
