I recently made a posting on the Apache users group regarding recovering the client IP address using the $_SESSION['REMOTE_ADDR'] function in PHP.
I received the following caveat from another developer: -------------start quote-------------------- You may want to update that. Since 2.4, apache makes the distinction between the the two different REMOTE_ADDR candidates: the peer making the TCP connection, and the client making the HTTP request. In other words, the nearest proxy and the end-user. The latter is of course very easy to spoof, but is nevertheless the one most applications want. --------------end quote-------------------- Is there any development underway in PHP to have both of these addresses available in the $_SESSION global variable?
