How can I get my visitor IP address and MAC address

[eluser]chengfeng[/eluser]
Does CI have any code to get the IP and MAC address from the user that log-in with system?

This is in the CI input library.

Code:

$ip_addr = $this->input->ip_address();

// or this if you need the CI instance...
$ip_addr = $this->CI->input->ip_address();

i use this function to get user's real ip

Code:

//-----------------
    function get_client_ip() {
        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;
    }

If you check out the CodeIgniter Input Library source it does just all of what you mentioned above!

For the MAC issue, it is not possible with PHP .
Not even if you can access exec() in linux environment(this will give a limited answer) .
At most, you can get the MAC of the computers in the same LAN(exec() here), but that doesn't help to much, basically because the MAC is not transmitted over network.
