Lockit Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Hello I was wondering how would I get $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] to work with local testing? Whenever I run the script at the host computer it always returned the address of the router, but if done remotely it will display the correct ip address. Thanks, Lockit.

jskywalker Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 $ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] if ($TEST) { $ip="another ip-address"; } and make sue $TEST is set to 'true' when you test... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lockit Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 Testing the final release is what i mean. The server will also use the script for routine things. However using sockets to export data to a program will not work if the ip is sent to the router. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jskywalker Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 sorry, than i'm not sure about what you mean, because the solution i gave does not need any changes in code esp. if you define the variable $TEST using an include statement.. include 'test.inc.php'; $ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] if ($TEST) { $ip="another ip-address"; } and in this 'test.inc.php': <?php $TEST=True; ?> after testing you only need to change the 'test.inc.php' file.....

Lockit Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 Hmm, I never was good with explanations. I am not 100% sure something like this would work but what I am attempting falls along the lines of: if($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] == "192.168.2.1") { $ip = (Some method to retrieve the real IP.); } else { $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; } Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jskywalker Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 hmm, i think if this is true $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] == "192.168.2.1" that '192.168.2.1' is the real ip-address (and AFAIK the only address that PHP is able to produce) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lockit Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 seems this works every 5 attempts, however it uses the domain name instead of the numerical IP for the socket export. if($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] == "192.168.2.1") { $address = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']; } else { $address = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; } Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
