ip adress returns 0.0.0.0

Hello guys,

I've a problem ! I want to get remote ip adress and when i use : <?php echo $this->input->ip_address();?> it returns me : 0.0.0.0
And when i try <?php echo $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; ;?> it returns nothing ...
I'm using a dedicated server runing on plesk , on cent os !!!

Do you have an idea about this thing ?

Thanks !

It could be because your behind a proxy server or something else.

Try this and see what you get, if still 0 then look at your log files.

PHP Code:

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'];
    }
    return $ip;
}

Hello, and thank you for your help !

When i use your script outside of CI the $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; works !
When inside, it's not working ... Is it a CI configuration problem ?

You can have a look at my code : https://pastebin.com/xwPRhsJv (available for 1day)

This script should return false on ip check, but it still goes on

Add the method I gave you to a CI helper and then call it were your calling it in your controller and see if that works.

I just tried it on my system here and it works fine...

Don't.

It won't solve anything, and it makes you vulnerable to IP address spoofing.

Ok ok

Narf is correct on that one, I should have mentioned that!

I was stating to do that for testing your problem with the
IP Address not for production Code.

Thanks @Narf for clarifying that.
