IP logger

Hello, I've been looking around but I can't seem to find a function for PHP dat registers the visitors IP.

I'm making a counter based on the fact that the viewing of index.php adds a row to my counter table where the date+time of the visit is stored too.
The counter value is MYSQL_NUM_ROWS. But I would like to add the vistitors IP adress also. Any ideas ?

DEVSHED forum provided my answer :

Code:

$_SERVER['remote_addr']

That will not work all the time especially with proxies and such. Try this instead Wink

Code:

if (isSet($_SERVER)) {
   if (isSet($_SERVER["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"])) {
      $realip = $_SERVER["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"];
   } elseif (isSet($_SERVER["HTTP_CLIENT_IP"])) {
      $realip = $_SERVER["HTTP_CLIENT_IP"];
   } else {
      $realip = $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"];
   }

} else

if (isSet($HTTP_SERVER_VARS)) {
   if (isSet($HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"])) {
      $realip = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"];
   } elseif (isSet($HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTP_CLIENT_IP"])) {
      $realip = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTP_CLIENT_IP"];
   } else {
      $realip = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["REMOTE_ADDR"];
   }

} else {
   if ( getenv( 'HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR' ) ) {
      $realip = getenv( 'HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR' );
   } elseif ( getenv( 'HTTP_CLIENT_IP' ) ) {
      $realip = getenv( 'HTTP_CLIENT_IP' );
   } else {
      $realip = getenv( 'REMOTE_ADDR' );
   }
}
