IP address comes from?

[eduard 37]

I have a website. Can I see, where the IP addresses which visited my website come from?

Yes - the way you access it depends on what language you are using. With PHP, for example, you can use the $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] index.

If you bought a web space to publish your site (if it is not a free web space), normally you have a statistics utility that let you check the number of visits to your web site. The statistic contains a lot of details including the IP address of the visitors.Perhaps you can ask your web space supplier how you can access the statistics file.regardsgabriele

If you are looking for statistics, you can also use a third-party analytics packages such as Mint or Google Analytics.

This will return some valid IPs, but if they're using a proxy or other forwarding mechanism you may want to go with something like this:

// try and get the real IP address...if (getenv('HTTP_CLIENT_IP')) {	$ip_address = getenv('HTTP_CLIENT_IP');}elseif (getenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR')) {	$ip_address = getenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR');}elseif (getenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED')) {	$ip_address = getenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED');}elseif (getenv('HTTP_FORWARDED_FOR')) {	$ip_address = getenv('HTTP_FORWARDED_FOR');}elseif (getenv('HTTP_FORWARDED')) {	$ip_address = getenv('HTTP_FORWARDED');}else {	$ip_address = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];}

Heh - well, it all depends on what IP you're trying to get, exactly. Also, proxies don't have to send those headers.
