How to connect to coin RPC-Server with PHP

Question

What we have to write to IP and port to connect ? I want to use my *coin-qt as a rpc-server.

<?php 
require_once 'jsonRPCClient.php';
$coin = new   jsonRPCClient('rpcuser:rpcpw123@IP:PORT/');
$json =$coin->getnewaddress();        
   var_dump($json);
   echo "</pre>";  
 ?>

Here is my .conf file :

listen=1
maxconnections=32
gen=1
genproclimit=-1
server=1
rpcuser=rpcuser
rpcpassword=rpcpw123
daemon=1

If you want to connect inside your box to the bitcoin client, then you have to use:

<?php 
   require_once 'jsonRPCClient.php';
   $coin = new   jsonRPCClient('rpcuser:rpcpw123@localhost:8332/');
   $json =$coin->getnewaddress();        
   var_dump($json);
   echo "</pre>";  
 ?>

i.e: rpchost = localhost and rpcport = 8332 (default port for bitcoin). For a different altcoin, use the provided documentation.

You previously have to enable the rpcserver with these options in your conf file.

listen=1
server=1
daemon=1
rpcuser=rpcuser
rpcpassword=rpcpw123
rpcport=8332
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
