Question

I am working on localhost(XAMPP) with codeigniter 2.1.0, I just modified welcome_message view with the following code:

<p>your IP address:
        <?php
            echo $this->input->ip_address();
            if(!$this->input->valid_ip($this->input->ip_address()))
                echo ' is not a valid IP';
        ?>
    </p>

It outputs the following in welcome message:

your IP address: 0.0.0.0 is not a valid IP

I think it must return:

your IP address: 127.0.0.1

but it is not happening this way, why?
