How to resolve client ip address

[paulsiew2]

Hi,

Anyone know how to retrieve Client's IP Address, my php webserver was behind the proxy (firewall)?
When i use --> $REMOTE_ADDR , show my proxy's IP address..
$HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR , show nothing

Javascript below only works for Netscape, return nothing in IE,

<script language="JavaScript"><!--
if (navigator.appName=='Netscape' && navigator.javaEnabled()) {
hn = java.net.InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName();
ha = java.net.InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress();
document.write('HostName: '+ hn + '<br>' + 'HostAddress: '+ ha );
}
//--></script>

Thanks in Advance!

$HTTP_CLIENT_IP

not working, still showing the proxy's ip address...

Try:

$addr = $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"];
echo "Remote address: $addr";

Not sure if that will do what you want, with the proxy and all.

$REMOTE_ADDR is the same as $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"];
So that is not going to work.

Here are some javascript links you can try:
http://javascript.internet.com/user-details/ip-address.html
http://wsabstract.com/script/script2/displayip.shtml

Here are some php results:

I did not read everything, but it looks like javascript is your best bet. Good Luck

no luck 🙁

not working...show the whole thing out

"You ip address is <!--#echo var="REMOTE_ADDR"-->"

Original Script:

<script language="javascript">
var ip = '<!--#echo var="REMOTE_ADDR"-->'

function ipval() {
document.myform.ipaddr.value=ip;
}
window.onload=ipval
</script>

<form method="post" action="" name="myform">
<input type="text" name="ipaddr" readonly>
</form>
