$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']

[Anonymous]

Is there another way to get somebody's IP?

Because I made a unique counter which logs IP's and how many visits that IP made, but I found out that my ISP has a seperate IP for all it's users and that IP works fine for accessing the computer, but when I browse the web, it spits out a different IP that different nearly everytime. So a friend of mine with the same ISP saw how many visits I made :?

Proxy server?

No, there's no other way. You could try print_r($_SERVER) if you don't believe me, but there you go!

I found this code somewhere on php.net:

if(getenv("HTTP_CLIENT_IP"))
$ip = getenv("HTTP_CLIENT_IP"); 
elseif(getenv("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"))
$ip = getenv("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"); 
else
$ip = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");

please note that only remote_addr can be used for authentication, since all the other values can be tempered with quite easily.

Yeah, there was that floating around in the back of my mind, but I wasn't sure if it was real or a figment of my imagination. I suppose I spent too much time dreaming up funky bits of code
