Cannot get IP address behind a proxy server

What did I do wrong?

[irock]

I got a parse error from this code... what did I do wrong?

<?
    if (getenv(HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR))
        $ipaddress = getenv(HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR);
    else
        $ipaddress = getenv(REMOTE_ADDR);
?>

Thanks.

What is the parse error?

I tried it, and it works fine (well changed the <? to <?php ) :)

Are the requests being forwarded through a proxy? If so, check the User Contributed notes on the getenv() [php.net] page.
