[ciapug] php SuperGlobals issue

[vanish at dreamscapevisionery.com]

phpinfo() shows the server ip address under REMOTE_ADDR. I am hosting the
server, and this code had worked previously, however during construction the
HDDs were popped out while live and the server had to be rebuilt. It has not
worked since.

Is there some system level or apache level setting I'm missing that 
allows this
to function properly?
