Regardless of my IP address, when I do: Code: echo $_SERVER['remote_addr']; It returns '192.168.1.1'. This is the first time I've written code that is being used on a Windows Server, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. I've run phpinfo(), and in the PHP Variables section, it shows "_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]" : 192.168.1.1. Does this mean that the php.ini file is setup wrong, or am I missing something? i am running my own server on windows 7 iis7.5 with php as fastcgi and i am behind a router with a dynamic ip not static and i am using http://www.no-ip.com/ that give me a link to my router and i am opening 80 port in my router forwarding it to my id address 192.168.1.5 and i have tested a php file that contains <?php echo $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; ?> tested it using tor network that give me ip out of my network to test that file always give me the same result 192.168.1.1 i am trying to get IP address of the visitor and i asked someone of my friends to use this form it sends the same ip i hope someone tells me what i am doing wrong and the solution for this problem Thanks in advance Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-07-27 04:59:52] fushimi at rep dot fielding dot nec dot co dot jp Thank you again for your help. Could you give me any idea about how can I enable this option in Apache2? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-07-26 09:50:13] jani@php.net It's apache that isn't setting it. PHP only sets the variables to whatever the server says they are. No bug in PHP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-07-26 00:48:12] fushimi at rep dot fielding dot nec dot co dot jp Thank you, to reply me so quickly.
