Re: $REMOTE_ADDR error

Have a look in phpinfo. You'll find the desired value there. The reason is indeed proxying. or try something like this : if ($HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"] != "") $ip = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"]; $proxy = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["REMOTE_ADDR"]; $host = @gethostbyaddr($HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"]); } else $ip = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["REMOTE_ADDR"]; $host = @gethostbyaddr($HTTP_SERVER_VARS["REMOTE_ADDR"]); } Brave Cobra ----- Original Message ----- From: "Colin May" <rael@wibble.org.uk> To: "Christian Dechery" <lemming@vento.com.br> Cc: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Wednesday, June 27, 2001 10:42 AM Subject: Re: [PHP] $REMOTE_ADDR error > Almost as if the request was proxied or redirected from the local machine > (127.0.0.1 is the local loop back ip) > > Quoting Christian Dechery (Tue, Jun 26, 2001 at 10:31:54PM -0300) > > why do $REMOTE_ADDR always returns 127.0.0.1 no matter the user's IP who is > > seeing the page? > > > > this doesn't look 'remote' to me... > > ____________________________ > > .
