CakePHP Get IP Address

Question

How can I get the client\'s IP address in CakePHP? It\'d be $_SERVER[\'REMOTE_ADDR\'] in plain PHP.

I thought it\'s like all $_SERVER vars

Answer 1

You can use $this->request->clientIp(); to get the current visitor's IP address.

Cake\Http\ServerRequest::clientIp()
Returns the current visitor’s IP address.
