remote_addr not working

[DKY]

any suggestions as to why this doesnt work for me?

$user_ip_addy = Getenv($REMOTE_ADDR); 
echo "$user_ip_addy";

I get this error.
Notice: Undefined variable: REMOTE_ADDR in d:\web_server\htdocs\hotlines\time.php on line 3

I'm running php version 4.3.10

google gave me:

<?php
$ip = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR"); 
// get the ip number of the user
?> 

😉

Thank you RossCo. Google gave me the one I posted above. heheee, its just a matter of quotes then, it works. I appreciate it

Yeah - because $REMOTE_ADDR is not a variable it failed!

It was the php manual where I got my code :p

argh, I put ip and ip address in the php manual then I went and googled it. Guess I shoulda gone back to the manual once I got the remote_addr part. hahahaaa guess i was too busy thinking it was a php version issue

I'm noticing that no matter what pc I'm using, wheter its my one at home or the one at work (which has about 1500 pc's) this still returns 192.168.1.1 Something's obviously wrong here.

You are browsing using a proxy so naturally it returns proxy-servers ip-address.
