problem with REMOTE_ADDR

[bawar]

I want to put a script on my site that shows how many users are online
on my site. I found one, and that is shown below. It also shows a
log with the IP-addresses of those visitors. Buuut... the counter
always stays on 1...
When I look at the log, every visitor seems to have the same
IP-address. When I look up that address, I see it is from the host of
my webspace.

Can someone offer me a solution?
Thanx,

Bart

Re: problem with REMOTE_ADDR

Try

$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADD R"]

instead.

the problem remains :s ...
Some other scripts also take the IP from the users, and that works...

$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADD R"] gives you your own IP address? That is weird.
Sounds like some funky-ass network configuration your web host is using.
(Like a bad proxy server which only reports its IP.) If so, I don't
think you'll be able to fix that. Web hosts are very stubborn about
fixing their network setups. I'm trying to persuade mine to get the
latest version of PHP 'cause a script I've written depends on a new
function.

Ah, to be able to run a server from home on a fat connection...
