Hi!
I want to know the real IP address of the client accessing my app. Why?
So I can compare it with my IP address.
I'm working on a web based desk top app and I do not want an employees logging in from anywhere other than physically in my office; unless an admin.
None of these below returns anything useful from behind LOCALHOST, it returns my own IP address as ::1
Will I get a better result on a public host? Is there a PHP.ini setting that I need to make?
Perhaps you have a better approach....
PHP Code:
if(!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'])){
//ip from share internet
$ip = $_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'];
}
elseif(!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'])){
//ip pass from proxy
$ip = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
}
else{
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
}
Thanks for any insights.
