#24515 [Fbk->Opn]: $_SERVER[remote_addr] different to $remote_addr

ID: 24515 User updated by: phpbug at easihosting dot co dot uk Reported By: phpbug at easihosting dot co dot uk -Status: Feedback +Status: Open Bug Type: *General Issues Operating System: linux PHP Version: 4.3.3RC1 New Comment: What information do you require? I have read the guidelines, and I seem to have adeared to them, short, simple and not missing anything out. Did you not understand my bug report or do you think it is not a bug but a feature? Everytime I get a visitor to my site it sends me an email. It is reporting that they are visiting a different site to what they are. This other site is also hosted on the same server. I have not found a way to easily reproduce this, I just have to wait and read the emails that report both $_SERVER array and registered global variables.

Reproduce code: --------------- echo '$SERVER_NAME'; echo " "; echo "$SERVER_NAME"; echo "<br>"; echo '$_SERVER[SERVER_NAME]'; echo " "; echo "$_SERVER[SERVER_NAME]"; echo "<br>"; Expected result: ---------------- $SERVER_NAME www.p800.co.uk $_SERVER[SERVER_NAME] www.p800.co.uk Actual result: -------------- $SERVER_NAME www.p800.co.uk $_SERVER[SERVER_NAME] www.symbos.co.uk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=24515&edit=1
