Getting the IP

[verdrm]

I would like to get the IP of the client machine. Here is my code:

 

$client = array("202.212.210.168","78.123.101.1");

$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

if(in_array($ip,$client)){

 

 

The problem is that $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; gives me the address internally of the server and not of the client when I echo $ip.

$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] is the IP address of the user connecting to your website.  Sometimes it can return the wrong value if the client is connecting behind a certain firewall or proxy.

Is there another solution then?

Is there another solution then?

 

To what?

[verdrm]

To getting the IP without using $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

Not really.
