Getting IP Address

[vbman213]

I am working on a script that will record some simple data about my websites users

I need a way to get there ip address, but when I test the script it returns the ip address of my ethernet adapter 192.168.1.*

but I want it to return my actual internet ip 24...*

Help 🙂

If you are testing on a local web-server/PHP installation on your computer, then 192.168.1.* is your IP address, as you are not connecting to the Internet. When running on an actual Internet server, $_SERVER[''REMOTE_ADDR'] will give you the client's IP address.

For testing my site
as a remote user/visitor
I connect to my PC-server via a remote proxy.
In this case appears my IP = the IP of the remote proxy server.

well ill just give you my function through it (it can detect through some proxy servers)

function getip()
{
if (isset($_SERVER))
{
if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']))
{
return $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
} else {
return $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
}
} else {
if (isset($GLOBALS['HTTP_SERVER_VARS']['HTTP_X_FORWARDER_FOR']))
{
return $GLOBALS['HTTP_SERVER_VARS']['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
} else {
return $GLOBALS['HTTP_SERVER_VARS']['REMOTE_ADDR'];
}
}
}
