Hello, please could you help me with this PHP script? It should recognize users web browser and according it should input correct condition. I make this because SAFARI and IE don't support function ' type:''date'' '. So can you give me an advice? CODE: <?php function detect() { if (\strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], "MSIE", "Safari") === false){ echo 'Dátum zákroku / Date of procedure [YYYY-MM-DD]'; echo '<p><input class="w3-input w3-border" required name="datum_zakroku"></p>'; }else{ '<div class="w3-text-d1"><p><b>Dátum zákroku / Date of procedure</b></p></div> <p><input class="w3-input w3-border" type="date" required name="datum_zakroku"></p>'; } } detect(); ?>

BACKGROUND: A visitor arrives on a website. While still on the site he triggers an AJAX call that fills a <div> element with new HTML. Once the page is filled another AJAX call is made that seeks to read the following value as encoded JSON: $_SERVER['REMOTE_REFERER']. Instead I receive a 500 internal server error. The AJAX (function() { $("#main").html(''); $("<link/>", { rel: "stylesheet", type: "text/css", href: "./_utilities/css/yourprofile_filler.css" }).appendTo("head"); $.get('./yourprofile_filler.html', function(data) { $('#main').html(data); }).done(function(){ $.ajax({ url: './_utilities/php/visitor_ip.php', dataType: 'JSON', statusCode: { 404: function() { alert( "Page not found" ); }}, success: function(visitor_ip) { console.log(visitor_ip); } }); }); })(); The PHP <?php $referral_addr = $_SERVER['REMOTE_REFERER']; echo json_encode($referral_addr); ?> ERROR MESSAGE jquery.min.js:5 GET https://www.grammarcaptive.com/_utilities/php/visitor_ip.php 500 (Internal Server Error)send Is the $_SERVER variable not available in the moment of the AJAX? How do I otherwise make it available? Roddy

QUESTION: What does it mean when the value of the QUERY_STRING looks like the following without end? &width=1920&height=1200&width=1920&height=1200&... Roddy

Hi, I'm new to PHP and I was wondering if it's perfectly safe to use $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] like so: <body<?php if(basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) == 'home.php') echo ' class="home"'; ?>> … </body> As far as I understand, the $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] variable can only be exploited when used as a link or in a form/inputs, where the variable should be wrapped into htmlspecialchars() to counter XSS attacks, am I right?

I did a few searches and I found that though $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] gets you the IP of a visistor, it is not always accurate because they could be hiding behind a proxy. I read that it was good to check $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] and $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'] to see if they contained value and if they did, it meant that they were behind a proxy, so it was better to use $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] and $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'] instead of $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']. Now my question is whether $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] and $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'] where the same or not. If not, what is the difference between them? I also read that $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] and $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'] were not always accurate because of the fact that the header could be spoofed. I tested this and it seems that the few proxies I used, the $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] and $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'] were not able to detect that it was behind a proxy. My question now is if there was a more accurate way to track an IP as opposed to this? I also want to know if there was any way to track the original IP of someone using a VPN or VPS?
