ip logging

[Anon]

Hi! I've got a problem when I try to log the visitors IP address. I use the following:
<?
...

$IP = getenv('REMOTE_ADDR');

...
?>
but it's not properly working. It always records 127.0.0.1 What could be the problem? Thanks for any help, Tobi

Try using $IP = $REMOTE_ADDR instead. See if that makes a difference.

I'm afraid that didn't help. I also have a problem with the referer:

<?
...
$IP = $REMOTE_ADDR;
$Referer = $HTTP_REFERER;
...
?>

So what's wrong? Please help :-)

Thanks in advance, Tobi

This always works for me

<?
//get IP
$ip = $GLOBALS['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$forwarder = $GLOBALS['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
if (($forwarder != "")&&($forwarder != "unknown")) $ip = $forwarder;
?>
