   Hermano con echo
   echo php_uname ( ‘n’);
   obtengo es el nombre del equipo cliente no el remoto. Si tienes la solución mucho sabría agradecerle.

   hey all,

   with using gethostbyaddr($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']); we can only find the IP address and also if we use php_uname ( ‘n’); we find the server name.
   is there any code to find exactly the name of computer of the web site’s viewer ?
   in PHP or in javascript ?

    Neither gethostbyaddr($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
    not php_uname();
    is capable of giving you the client’s machine’s IP.

    That is actually not possible (as fa as I think).
    If you can get that info you can put virus strait-away into it.

    There is no way to get client machine ID using PHP as far as i know. if you can do you will be a good hacker.

    Hi every one my name is AlAa

    My problem with $_SERVER['remote_addr']

    I’m not sure if I’m having a problem with the installation of PHP on the server or if there’s something that I’m not doing right in the code, but I am trying to capture the IP address of anyone that is trying to log into a secure part of a site. Regardless of my IP address, when I do:

    Code:

    echo $_SERVER['remote_addr'];

    It returns ’192.168.1.1′. This is the first time I’ve written code that is being used on a Windows Server, so I don’t know if that has anything to do with it.

    I’ve run phpinfo(), and in the PHP Variables section, it shows “_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]” : 192.168.1.1. Does this mean that the php.ini file is setup wrong, or am I missing something?

    i am running my own server on windows 7 iis7.5 with php as fastcgi and i am behind a router with a dynamic ip not static and i am using
    http://www.no-ip.com/ that give me a link to my router and i am opening 80 port in my router forwarding it to my id address 192.168.1.5 and i have tested a php file that contains

    tested it using tor network that give me ip out of my network to test that file always give me the same result 192.168.1.1 i am trying to get IP address of the visitor and i asked someone of my friends to use this form it sends the same ip

    i hope someone tells me what i am doing wrong and the solution for this problem

    Thanks in advance

    $ip = getenv(“REMOTE_ADDR”);
