$REMOTE_ADDR is not getting user IP

Anon

FUNCTION LOGGING () {
global $REMOTE_ADDR, $HTTP_USER_AGENT;

$today = getdate(mktime(date("H")+7));
$DAY = $today['mday'];
$MONTH = $today['month'];
$year = $today['year'];
$HOUR = $today['hours'];
$IP = $REMOTE_ADDR;
$BROWSER = $HTTP_USER_AGENT;
$SCREEN = $this->SCREEN;
MYSQL_QUERY ("INSERT INTO log (Day, Month, Year, Hour, Browser, IP, Screen) VALUES ('$DAY', '$MONTH', '$year', '$HOUR', '$BROWSER', '$IP', '$SCREEN')");
}

everything work fine except the IP.
The IP stored in DB is 127.0.0.1. How to fix it?

I've noticed that $REMOTE_ADDR does not work when I test a page in my desktop, where I run my PHP/Xitami combo. When I upload the page to the remote server, where the actual site is, it works ok. Could it be your case?

I have upload this script into two server. www.nikita-natashia.com/1/getip.php and www.kmbuinet.f2s.com/getip.php

the script is
<?
global $REMOTE_ADDR;
echo "Your IP is $REMOTE_ADDR";
?>

In nikita-natashia.com, it's generate my IP but in kmbuinet.f2s.com, it's generate IP 127.0.0.1. Where is the bug? Do f2s.com support $REMOTE_ADDR?

Hi,

Yes i have had this probel with my server, in my case it was because the server was connected to a NAT box, which means all clients that connect to it where being addressed with my i.p instead of their own. This could be it, you should contect your sysadmin for advice on how to fix it.

I think I have found the answer. My server using proxy, and to get user IP I have to use "getenv(HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR)" instead of "$REMOTE_ADDR".
thank you for all your support 🙂
