That one was only a minor point anyway, wrote that out of memory. > Anyway -- I don't know whether this class duplicates existing IP stuff, but > I do think it's well written and I like the fact that it checks for proxy > servers (i.e. I can certainly use it). Well, other than validating IP addresses (which long2ip(ip2long($ip)) == $ip) does just as good), wrapping gethostbyname, wrapping gethostbyaddr, fetching the first ip out of a list it does almost nothing that isn't HTTP specific. And for the proxy stuff, in case you don't know it already - you can't trust these headers. Even if they are present, they may be faked, and if they are absent, a proxy may still be in between. So i strongly suggest you only use it for statistics or alike. -- Regards, Stefan Walk <swalk@prp0.prp.physik.tu-darmstadt.de>
