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
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.
For further reference https://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/controllers/request-response.html#reading-http-headers
Cakephp 3 have clientIP function in the class ServerRequest:
https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp/blob/master/src/Http/ServerRequest.php#L578
$this->request->clientIp();
// firts add Router support
use Cake\Routing\Router;
// Use in a method
Router::getRequest()->clientIp()
I leave the function if you use a previous version of the framework or require some special behavior:
public function clientIp()
{
if ($this->trustProxy && $this->getEnv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR')) {
$addresses = explode(',', $this->getEnv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'));
$ipaddr = end($addresses);
} elseif ($this->trustProxy && $this->getEnv('HTTP_CLIENT_IP')) {
$ipaddr = $this->getEnv('HTTP_CLIENT_IP');
} else {
$ipaddr = $this->getEnv('REMOTE_ADDR');
}
return trim($ipaddr);
}
For example, this function returns the value ":: 1" when you work in a local environment.
It is a good idea to add it in the bootstrap.php boot file, since you can access it from anywhere:
function clientIp($defaultIP = '127.0.0.1') {
$ipaddr = null;
if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'])) {
$ipaddr = $_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'];
} elseif (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'])) {
$ipaddr = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
} else {
$ipaddr = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
}
$ipaddr = trim($ipaddr);
if ($ipaddr == '::1') {
$ipaddr = $defaultIP;
}
return $ipaddr;
}
good luck and happy coding! =D
CakePHP 3.x usage:
//in controller
$ip = $this->request->clientIp();
CakePHP 2.x usage
//in controller
$this->request->ClientIp();
CakePHP 1.x usage
//in controller
RequestHandlerComponent::getClientIP();
CakePHP 1.x:
RequestHandlerComponent::getClientIp();
So to clarify:
public $components = array(
'RequestHandler'
);
Then in the controller method:
$this->RequestHandler->getClientIp();
CakePHP 2.x & CakepPHP 3.x:
RequestHandler::getClientIp()
is deprecated; you can get the client IP from the CakeRequest object:
$this->request->clientIp();
If you need to get the IP address from within a model, $this->request->getClientIp()
won't work, throwing:
Error: Call to a member function clientIp() on a non-object
Use Router::getRequest()->clientIp()
instead.
So basically, Router::getRequest()
can serve as a Model's replacement of the Controller's $this->request
In cakephp 3.x
In your controller to get the client ip - $this->request->clientIp();
