Re: Getting user's IP address in LC Server

Hi Matthias!

Works like a charm -- didn't even occur to me to check the server 
variable for IP. (yeah, amateur!)


Thank you.

Hi Tim,

you can use the array variable $_SERVER for it. The variable contains the CGI 
interface related variables, along with any HTTP_* variables that are available.


$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR] contains the remote ip address.

Hi,

I am trying to make a web page that changes content a bit based on the user's 
location. I am using my on-rev hosting account and am trying two different 
service's APIs:

1) put "My country is" && url 
"https://api.ipdata.co/country_name?api-key=my/key;

2) put "curl https://api.ipgeolocation.io/getip; into IPvariable

But both of these return the info for Liquid Web LLC, the on-rev server 
company, not the info for me as I test the page in Tokyo.

What is a reliable way to get the user's IP address and or geolocation info 
from LC Server?

Any help appreciated!

Thanks,
