Need help about IP Addresses |
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'])){ Thank for help
Is the server a shared hosting setup or something else? If you've got full control of the server then the easiest thing to do would probably be to use a firewall that only allows traffic from your office network.

But you should be able to tell if what you're getting is in the range of IP addresses used by your office network. |
