Does this return the REAL user ip even if user is behind firewall?

To get REAL ip address i’m using this function…




              public function getRealIp()

        {

            if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP']))   //check ip from share internet

            {

                $ip=$_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'];

            }

            elseif (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']))   //to check ip is pass from proxy

            {

                $ip=$_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];

            }

            else

            {

                $ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

            }

            return $ip;

        }

There’s no way to find out the real IP for most users behind a firewall. Simple IP masquerading for example doesn’t add this header information. I also wonder what that IP should be useful for: They mostly use adress ranges from private networks (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16).

I believe that this method is not static, so you may want to use Yii::app()->request->userHostAddress instead.
