- Get the client IP address using PHP [duplicate] 5 answers
I need to get Public IP address of the system using PHP. I tried the following function:
function get_client_ip() {
$ipaddress = '';
if(getenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'))
$ipaddress = getenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR');
else if(getenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED'))
$ipaddress = getenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED');
else if(getenv('HTTP_FORWARDED_FOR'))
$ipaddress = getenv('HTTP_FORWARDED_FOR');
else if(getenv('HTTP_FORWARDED'))
$ipaddress = getenv('HTTP_FORWARDED');
else if(getenv('REMOTE_ADDR'))
$ipaddress = getenv('REMOTE_ADDR');
return $ipaddress;
}
But, I got only the localhost IP 127.0.0.1
. I am in need of Public IP address. What function is available in PHP to get my Public Ip address which I get from this site:http://www.whatismyip.com/
