Php Ip Address

[Ginja_Ninja]

Hi there,

 

i am using php and wish to view the ip address of a visitor.

I notice that when in the cPanel it gives my ip address and its bang on, but when i use

 

$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"];

 

in my own code, its not the same. I think the php code above shos my ISP Proxy IP Address.

This is not my actuall ip.

 

How can i get the accuracy that cPanel shows??

Is there something else i need to do to this php function ??

 

Thanks for your thoughts.

If you use a proxy, your IP will be in the x-forwarded-for header, check out the examples on this page:

http://www.php.net/getenv

To get an idea of how to find the correct IP address.
