Hi.
I'm using Enterprise at casinobonuscenter.com and I need to get the real visitor's IP to use GeoLocalization
I can see 2 vars in $_SERVER:
HTTP_X_REAL_IP and
HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR
What is the difference?
Thank you!
Arturo

Hi,
In case of the request being forwarded through many proxies the HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR variable will be the list of each server IP the request passed through seperated by comma (the proxy should set that variable and it is optional). While HTTP_X_REAL_IP is the IP address of the last requester. If there are no proxy servers between then it will be the real IP of the visitor.
