simple ip question 1

[rbauerle]

How do I get the user's ip address?

Tks.

Usually:
$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']

However, there could be X_FORWARDED_FOR values etc. for proxied requests. IP is not telling you much - also remember that IPv4 is not spoof-proof.

If you want the IP and Host :

if (getenv("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR")){
$ip=getenv("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR");
} else {
$ip=getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");
}
$hostname = gethostbyaddr($ip);

Here ,

$hostname : display user's hostname
$ip : display user's ip
