My best shot (very reliable) is bodged together and adapted from various
sources.
Try this :
$comes_from=array(HTTP_VIA
, HTTP_X_COMING_FROM
, HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR
, HTTP_X_FORWARDED
, HTTP_COMING_FROM
, HTTP_FORWARDED_FOR
, HTTP_FORWARDED);
// This array *should* hold most of the possible headers identifying the
remote IP address.
// Credit to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for the list of http headers.
foreach ($comes_from as $value) {
if (ereg("^([0-9]{1,3}\.){3,3}[0-9]{1,3}",$$value,$remote_temp)) {
$remote=$remote_temp[0];
// Fish out IP match if ereg returns a value
}}
if (! $remote) {
$remote=$REMOTE_ADDR;
}
And thats it. If your user has a *real* IP address you get $remote set to
value of $REMOTE_ADDR, else it fishes out any forwarded address from the
proxy and returns that ;-) Use gethostbyname to lookup the hostname from IP
address.
