How to track IPs of clients while requesting page

sureshbabu · #1 (**permalink**) 07-20-2007, 05:45 AM

I need to implement the IP tracking feature in a project. While tracking the client IP I found an issue. The issue is, while the the page is being hit by a system its actual IP is cannot be traced (Incase a server hits the page). Instead of actual IP some internal IP is traced. (e.g. 192.168.X.XXX like that)

I used
$_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']
$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']

But it works only the client is an individual sys. If a server hits the page means only its internal IP is traced.

Guys any idea????????????????????????????????

Hi,

Here is PHP code:

<html>
<head>
<title>What is my IP address?</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php

if (getenv(HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR)) {
$pipaddress = getenv(HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR);
$ipaddress = getenv(REMOTE_ADDR);
echo “Your Proxy IPaddress is : “.$pipaddress. “(via $ipaddress)” ;
} else {
$ipaddress = getenv(REMOTE_ADDR);
echo “Your IP address is : $ipaddress”;
}
?>
</body>
</html>

Thanks
sivarman.

I told that i already used those variables. Would be better if you suggest me other methods.
