Get location

PHP
1

Hi Friends,

I want to get the loggedin users’ location in php.

For ex: If a user access the site from Bangalore, t hen my function should return the location like Bangalore, india. Please help me how to get these information. I am trying to get the ip address.

I am using the code like this:

<?php

function getRealIpAddr()
{
echo “<pre>”;
print_r($_SERVER);
echo “</pre>”;

if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP']))   //check ip from share internet
{
  $ip=$_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'];
}
elseif (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']))   //to check ip is pass from

proxy
{
$ip=$_SERVER[‘HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR’];
}
else
{
$ip=$_SERVER[‘REMOTE_ADDR’];
}
return $ip;
}

echo " ip address ".getRealIpAddr();

$ip=@$REMOTE_ADDR;
echo “<b>IP Address= $ip</b>”;

I am planning to try this with the help of ip address. But it provides ::1. But my IP Address : 14.96.16.59

Plz help me out

Thank u so much

Can you wrap your code in php tags so that it is readable?

It’s item 9 in the New to the Program Your Site forums? Please read this. sticky topic.

Let me guess… you read it but missed that bit :rolleyes:

Just use “$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];” not all the other useless code.
Otherwise you will just cause yourself grief down the road.

Forther more, if you are doing this on a development machine and the server resides on the same machine and is access using localhost or 127.0.0.1, then the IP will be 127.0.0.1 or ::1 (IPv6 equivalent).

I repeat, only use “$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];” everything else is untrusted/unreliable.
