Don't. If it's a transparent proxy, you can get their IP. If it's NOT a transparent proxy, you can't get their IP, by design, and nothing you can do will change that, at least in PHP. That's the whole point of a transparent proxy. Suppose you wrote some JS to send you the 'local' IP -- Even if that works, which I suspect not, it would be pointless, since you'd end up with a few hundred people with IP addresses such as 192.168.1.100, which is a meaningful IP address only in their subnet, not in the larger network in general. Now, to your specific case: If you can get the browser to send you the IP, then a Bad Guy can write their browser to send you whatever IP they want, thus defeating your so-called authentication. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
