Re: [PHP] Best way to get the remote IP address?
Hi, Simply... test for HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR if it exists, then your client are behind a proxy server, the REMOTE_ADDR is the proxy IP, and HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR is the client IP (if not faked by the proxy). hope this helps, Antonio.

using $REMOTE_ADDR directly is fine as long as the
"register_global" setting is off.
otherwise, it's wiser to use getenv('REMOTE_ADDR') instead of
$REMOTE_ADDR directly.

Failure doesn't mean you'll never make it. It just means it may take longer.

That's because it's probably not so much a PHP thing. X-Forwarded-For is normally used when going through a proxy. Say my internal IP is 192.168.1.15, and my proxy's official IP address is 132.248.10.2, then we'd have this: REMOTE_ADDR=132.248.10.2 X_FORWARDED_FOR=192.168.1.15 That way, even when going through a proxy, there's information about who originally submitted the request. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [PHP] Best way to get the remote IP address?
I can't seem to find any references to HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR in the PDF PHP documentation from January 2001, so you should probably best stick with either $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REMOTE_ADDR'] or simply $REMOTE_ADDR (if you use $REMOTE_ADDR in functions make sure you do a global on it first) - I personally use $REMOTE_ADDR, but you should read the docs for details...

[PHP] Best way to get the remote IP address?
I'm trying to get the remote IP address of a user in a (PHP) version and server-software independant way, but am having a few problems. Obviously, I've seen $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REMOTE_ADDR'], but Ive also seen references to $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']. Is there any generic solution to this problem (and if so, what is it?)
