Instead of simply checking the `$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']` variable, this library checks for the most common headers that contain the client's IP Address: HeaderDescription**HTTP\_CF\_CONNECTING\_IP**Cloudflare-provided real IP of the client. Best when using Cloudflare as a proxy.**HTTP\_X\_FORWARDED\_FOR**Standard header used by proxies and load balancers. Can contain multiple IPs. The first valid non-private IP is usually the client.**HTTP\_X\_REAL\_IP**Used by Nginx and some proxies to pass the real IP.**HTTP\_X\_CLUSTER\_CLIENT\_IP**Commonly set by AWS Elastic Load Balancer and other cloud providers.**HTTP\_FORWARDED\_FOR**RFC-compliant alternative to `X-Forwarded-For`. Similar functionality.**HTTP\_FORWARDED**RFC-compliant `Forwarded` header (e.g., `for=192.168.1.1;proto=http`).**HTTP\_X\_FORWARDED**Similar to `X-Forwarded-For`, but used in some legacy systems.**HTTP\_CLIENT\_IP**Sometimes set by proxies but is easily spoofed, so it should not be fully trusted.**REMOTE\_ADDR**IP address of the direct connection. Often the load balancer or proxy IP rather than the real client. Used as a last resort.Installing ========== [](#installing) Add this library as a composer dependency: ``` composer require tixastronauta/acc-ip ``` Using ===== [](#using) ``` require 'vendor/autoload.php' use TixAstronauta\AccIp\AccIp as AccIp; $accIp = new AccIp(); $ipAddress = $accIp->getIpAddress(); // this is the client's accurate IP Address. false on failure ``` License ======= [](#license) ``` The MIT License (MIT) Copyright (c) 2015 Tiago 'Tix' Carvalho Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
