[SOLVED] Get Client IP - Socket

[benphelps]

I need to get the IP of the connected client.

 

They connect to a socket via web browser.

 

Here is how I make the socket:

$mysock = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP);
if(@socket_bind($mysock, $config['address'], $config['port'])){
// win?	
}
else {
echo 'Error binding to address: '.$config['address'].':'.$config['port']."\r\n";
passthru('pause');
die();
}

 

This is created on a windows machine if that makes any difference.

 

I can't seem to find a way to do this.

I think that web server is connecting to a socket. U might use server IP for that.

 

For client Ip, you could use this.

	function client_ip(){
	// true client ip
	if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP']))   //check ip from share internet
	{
		return  $_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'];
	}
	elseif (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']))   //to check ip is pass from proxy
	{
		 return  $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
	}
	else
	{
	return $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
	}
}

Thats not going to work.  I think it is because it requires the web server PHP was built on to send the IP to PHP.

 

I this case, the web server is PHP.

socket_getpeername($client_accept, $remote_ip, $remote_port);

This did the trick.
