sender's ip address

[xoxLISAxox]

IN PHP:

$useripaddy = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; 

Very simple form email. When we receive it, we would like to show the ip address of the sender, to keep for our records. The above is not working, it show's our ip address instead of the sender. How do I fix this? It's on a secure https, it make a difference?

Thank you

Try this:

$useripaddy = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");

Thank you Lee but it's not working, giving me the same results.

What version of PHP are you running? If earlier than 4.1 try this:

$useripaddy = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REMOTE_ADDR'];

I tried that does not work either.

I just called our provider and they said php version 4.4.2.

Thanks so much, hope this gets resolved soon.

This might be a configuration issue. Contact your hosting provider's tech support and ask them.

$_SERVER[REMOTE_ADDR] 

is correct and should work.

hex1a4 is correct.

$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] should work.

If you are testing it yourself, then it will, of course, show your IP address.

Make sure that you are using this within a script that is being requested by the client (user's browser) and not a script being initiated by the server.

$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] is the IP address of the entity running the script.
