当我在PHP中执行curl脚本连接是从客户端还是从服务器启动的？

Question

I wanted to know if I am accessing a website using my curl script, will the TCP connection be initiated from the client who has opened the PHP page (that is my PC) or the server where the PHP page is hosted?

Is there any way to verify this ? I tried to open whatismyipaddress.com using my curl script to check what IP address it is showing but it did not show any IP address thinking the request came from a BOT.

Answer 1

It will be from the server. Curl is an executable binary on the server and will execute as such. If you choose to display any output the server will push that output back down to the client.
