Any ideas why am I getting this strange output? How to get a proper ip?

::1is the IPv6 equivalent of127.0.0.1which is the IP address of your local (loopback) interface.More information here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Localhost
You can disable IPv6 in your webserver to only serve IPv4 hosts. This way, you will only get propers IP adresses in
$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]
