FIND USER IP ADDRESS.???

[Anon]

I have tried $HTTP_REMOTE_ADDR; no luck..?? Am able to use:
$HTTP_USER_AGENT; no problem.... ISP supports PHP, but need help
finding proper PHP code for finding REMOTE_ADDR...???

Also tried $REMOTE_ADDR; no luck also...(Using Earthlink, which supports PHP,
Apache software.)

Any help appreciated!!

Example: THIS WORKS in my HTML page.. (faq.php)

<?php echo $HTTP_USER_AGENT; ?>

THIS DOES NOT!!?????:

<?php echo $HTTP_REMOTE_ADDR; ?>

<?php
// there are 2 ways other than using $REMOTE_ADDR
print getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");

// or you can use the $ENV superglobal
print $ENV['REMOTE_ADDR'];
?>

When you say it doesn't work - do you mean you get nothing? Or do you mean you get an IP other than your end user's?

If you get nothing, try running phpinfo(); and see which var contains your IP.

If you get the wrong one, you're gonna have loads of trouble 'cause you're probably getting someone's proxy server...

Hope it helps.
