RE: [PHP] Problem with REMOTE_ADDR

It should not being going through a proxy, but the way this campus is set up, that is a possibility. Even still, I used code that should have controlled for that. I have tested REMOTE_ADDR from several different IPs and it still gives me the server IP. Thanks for any help, Chris

Of course, I am not interested in this and want the IP of the client. I put this code in to resolve it and it still didnt work. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help in advance, Chris if (getenv(HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR)) { $ip = getenv('HTTP_X_FORWARD_FOR'); $host = gethostbyaddr($ip); } else { $ip = getenv('REMOTE_ADDR'); $host = gethostbyaddr($ip); } _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
