REMOTE ADDR=1295:b508:4161:b4bf:316f:ab00:a00:0

How can I get '200.12.55.20' format?

Hi.

Using PHP v4.4.4 on Apache 2.2, I'm trying to get the IP address of each visitor. To do it, I use $_REMOTE_ADDR, but I get this info:
1295:b508:4161:b4bf:316f:ab00:a00:0

How can I show remoteAddress in '200.12.55.20' format?

Thank you very much.

$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

code:

$remoteAddress = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
echo "$remoteAddress\n";

output:

1295:b508:4161:b4bf:316f:ab00:a00:0

(sorry, I wrote $_REMOTE_ADDR by mistake in the first post)

does this output any different?

$ret = apache_getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");
echo $ret;

doubt it will but maybe worth a go..

I'm no expert, but that sure looks like an IPv6 address, in which case, you won't get it into the IPv4 structure as they are quite different.

You could write your own class based on RFC2373 (well originally, but it's been updated by RFC4291 [rfc-editor.org]) or you might want to check into a PEAR class. You could use the whole class or peel out the parts you need, such as splitv64 [pear.php.net].

apache_getenv("REMOTE_ADDR") doesn't work for me :(
