Detecting Visitors Real IP Address - Operamini Special

Detecting Visitors Real IP Address - Operamini Special



Mobile web browser opera mini is well known for a similar IP
address for different users. Detecting the real ip address of an
operamini user becomes hard while using the $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"] php
command.



But we can detect the real ip using a small snippet of php code. Use the below PHP code to detect actual ip of opera mini users.

PHP Code:

<?php
function ctr_ip_tool()
{
$ctr=array();
if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']) && strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'],','))
{
$ctr += explode(',',$_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']);
}
else if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']))
{
$ctr[]=$_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
}
$ctr[]=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; return $ctr;
}
$ctr=ctr_ip_tool();
$ip=implode(",",$ctr);
$ip=htmlspecialchars($ip);
echo 'Your ip is '.$ip;
?>

You can test the above code in a new php file and use it anywhere as per need. Feel free to ask questions if you have any.
