[ciapug] php SuperGlobals issue

[Ron Mutchler, ZCE]

I've used REMOTE_ADDR in my scripts before without seeing what you are
explaining.

	function get_ipaddy() {
		$ipaddy = getenv ("REMOTE_ADDR");
		return $ipaddy;
	}

Have you tried looking at phpinfo to see what it says?

If you are hosting with a company, they could have configured it not
to return that particular variable.  I have a host that refuses to
return PATH_INFO.  I ended up having to look at ORIG_PATH_INFO in that
case.
