note 49924 added to reserved.variables

Sorry if this is old news to some, but it might not be obvious at a first glance: If you are using $_SERVER['remote_addr'] as a way to keep track of a logged-in user (this can be useful to avoid several types of hacking), remember that it might not be the user's actual IP address! I was trying to implement a login feature that used this, storing the IP into a DB. It went smoothly while on a LAN, but wrecked havoc when accepting outter connections. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+49924 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49924&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49924&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49924&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49924&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49924&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+49924&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
