I'm php-scripting behind a firewall

[sirugo]

I'm php-scripting behind a firewall, on Windows IIS 5.
The "REMOTE_ADDR" contains the proxy-ip only.

I want to get the clients' IP-adresses using "HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR".

When I use phpinfo() to find out at what comes out of each call I see no "HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR".

Do I have to activate "HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR" on the server to get the client IP?

Thx

If you were as an Apache module, you could use the getallheaders() function.

Try looking in the superglobal array $_SERVER (

http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php).

IIS may provide that header to PHP, which will then instantiate it as a key/value pair in this array. Want the best answers? Ask the best questions:

Thanks but I have tried that and it comes out emtpy.

$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']
will show the proxy-ip though

Is this a proxy-matter that can only be solved in the proxy itself?
Also computers behind the firewall give the proxy-ip when they use the scripts.
As a matter of fact all computers except those that have fixed ips show the same proxy-ip.

If you perform:

print_r ($_SERVER);

Do you get anything that might be useful? The online manual states that your web server may provide to PHP more elements in $_SERVER than are documented. (It also states there could be fewer, too.) Want the best answers? Ask the best questions:

I get about the same information.
What actually slips through is the http-user-agent that the visitor is using, and the operating system.

But when it comes to ips it's only one available and it's the one from the proxy itself.
