how to get IP address?

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

hey guys,

i have this code which is supposed to get me the IP address of my site visitors:

Code: <?php if ($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARD_FOR']) {
$ip = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARD_FOR'];
} else {
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
}
?>
but all i get back when i test it is:
Quote::1

how come the IP isnt showing, and what does "::1" mean?

thanks guys
