Getting current user's IP address

asgsoft · 03-04-2006, 01:38 PM

While looking in the PHP predefined variables i found an intersting one: $_ENV["REMOTE_ADDR"]. what this does is it gives the current IP of the person viewing your site. This is quite good if you are making a poll for a intranet where each user has their own username.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/webmaster-tutorials/173494-getting-current-users-ip-address.html

Have a look at this and tell me what you think.

PHP Code:

  <?php

$ip = $_ENV["REMOTE_ADDR"]; //set variable

 
echo $ip; //show the value of the variable

 
?>

I hope somebody finds it helpful.

I personally uses JS for that

But I guess PHP overcomes it in simplicity

Slightly different method, same info:
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=173494

Code:

 <?php


   echo "<html><head><title>lifted from www.scanmybrowser.com</title></head>";
   echo "<body><h1>A few request header variables:</h1>";
   echo "HTTP_REFERER=".getenv("HTTP_REFERER")."<br>";
   echo "REMOTE_ADDR=".getenv("REMOTE_ADDR")."<br>";
   echo "HTTP_USER_AGENT=".getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT")."<br>";
   echo "HTTP_ACCEPT=".getenv("HTTP_ACCEPT")."<br>";
   echo "HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE=".getenv("HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE")."<br>";
   echo "HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET=".getenv("HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET")."<br>";
   echo "HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING=".getenv("HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING")."<br>";
   echo "</body></html>";

?>

Similar examples in ASP and C++ at www.scanmybrowser.com - look for the links in the left navbar.
