Question

I am this code to get the IP address on my locolhost and I get

::1

result

code is:

function ip()
{
  if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP']))
  {
       $ip = $_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'];
  } elseif (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']))
  {
    $ip = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
  }
  else
  {
    $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
  }
  return $ip;            
}

echo ip();

where is error?

Actually, I want to get country & city name after I get IP… Any other solution?

Thanks

As @Roland writes it is an IPv6 address. If you don’t intend on using IPv6 in your application then you should tell your web server to stop listening on IPv6 ports. When you send a request the client will try IPv6 first if it doesn’t work then it will fall back to IPv4 and you should get the much more familiar looking 127.0.0.1.
