php-fakerHow can I generate a fake IP address using PHP Faker?

Using the PHP Faker library, you can generate a fake IP address with the following code:

<?php

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

$faker = Faker\Factory::create();

echo $faker->ipv4;

Output example

87.84.163.13

The code consists of the following parts:

1. require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php'; - This line includes the vendor autoload file which is needed for the Faker library.

2. $faker = Faker\Factory::create(); - This line creates a new Faker instance.

3. echo $faker->ipv4; - This line prints out the generated fake IP address.
