Right. vHostB displays $REMOTE_ADDR. vHostA reads it back via fopen()/fread() and displays it on the browser. The address should be that of vHostA, but if they are both on the same physical host, it shows the IP of vHost B. --Phil M. ----- Original Message ----- From: R Melder at SPiN Internet Media To: Sent: Thursday, June 12, 2003 2:31 PM Subject: RE: REMOTE_ADDR Weirdness > Which host is referencing $REMOTE_ADDR? > > Is this the application flow? > Browser-->vHost A-->vHost B-->vHost A-->back to browser > > ; ) .randy > > ..:: Randy Melder ::.. > 602-279-0135 - www.spininternetmedia.com > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: plug-discuss-admin@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us > [mailto:plug-discuss-admin@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us] On Behalf Of Phil > Mattison > Sent: Thursday, June 12, 2003 2:26 PM > To: plug-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us > Subject: REMOTE_ADDR Weirdness > > > Here's a brain teaser for you guys.
