Hello!
 
I'm pretty new at Php, just coding for like 2 months or something.
Well, I'm using a function that looks like:

function getIP() {

    return $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

}

And my output i get from this are: ":::1"

 

If anyone have an idea what to do, please reply!

Thanks in advance! :)

I'm guessing you're testing your PHP code on http://localhost and possibly using windows (vista)?  Open the hosts file (located in C:\Windows\System32\drives\etc\hosts) as an Administrator you should find two lines that look like

127.0.0.1       localhost
::1             localhost

Add a # in front of the last line. When you rerun your script at localhost the get ip function should return 127.0.0.1 instead of :::1
