How to get an IP address through PHP

[rahul_jjj]

I am trying to get the IP address of the system through the below code, wherein it returns me the value as 127.0.0.1..

 

How do I get the real IP address. Can anyone advise.. Posted the code below,

 

function getRealIpAddr()

{

    if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP']))  //check ip from share internet

    {

      $ip=$_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'];

    }

    elseif (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']))  //to check ip is pass from proxy

    {

      $ip=$_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];

    }

    else

    {

      $ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

    }

echo $ip;

    return $ip;

}

thats because you are probably accessing it from the computer it is running on. try another computer

Thats what I was going to say, I have a very simple code running at: http://darkangel.myartsonline.com/ip.php all that is:

IP: <?=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] ?>

Yes you are correct, I am trying to access from my computer. What do u mean by "try in a different computer".

127.0.0.1 is localhost which is "home"

 

If you want to post the link (or PM it to me) I can check it for you and see what I get.

Works for me:

 

echo getRealIpAddr();

function getRealIpAddr()
{
    if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP']))   //check ip from share internet
    {
      $ip=$_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'];
    }
    elseif (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']))   //to check ip is pass from proxy
    {
      $ip=$_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
    }
    else
    {
      $ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
    }
   /*echo $ip;*/
    return $ip;
}
?>

Your code is working - I just re-read what you typed.

 

When running local on your PC you will always get 127.0.0.1

 

To get anything different you'll need to put it online.

Yeah I tried locally and remotely and both worked fine

How can I get my local(private) and public IP?

My ISP provides me public IP. I have a router and two PC. Debian with apache server is running on one of them and on second one I am testing my scripts (I know local IP of my machines of course). I tried a lot of scripts how to get exactly my ip through PHP scripts, but nothing did get it. When I connect to PHP server through LAN, I get local ip (192.168.1.12). When I connect through my public IP (I have made port forwarding to debian machine), I get public ip (e.g. "91.127.181.218").

But I want to get both of them when I am connecting to my server outside my LAN. That information is stored in IP data, is it possible to get it by PHP scripts?

Thanks.
