How to get client IP address in Laravel 5+

Viewed 209 times

I am trying to get the client's IP address in Laravel.

It is easy to get a client's IP in PHP by using $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]. It is working fine in core PHP, but when I use the same thing in Laravel, it returns the server IP instead of the visitor's IP.

Looking at the Laravel API:

Request::ip();

Internally, it uses the getClientIps method from the Symfony Request Object:

public function getClientIps()
{
    $clientIps = array();
    $ip = $this->server->get('REMOTE_ADDR');
    if (!$this->isFromTrustedProxy()) {
        return array($ip);
    }
    if (self::$trustedHeaders[self::HEADER_FORWARDED] && $this->headers->has(self::$trustedHeaders[self::HEADER_FORWARDED])) {
        $forwardedHeader = $this->headers->get(self::$trustedHeaders[self::HEADER_FORWARDED]);
        preg_match_all('{(for)=("?[?)([a-z0-9.:_-/]*)}', $forwardedHeader, $matches);
        $clientIps = $matches[3];
    } elseif (self::$trustedHeaders[self::HEADER_CLIENT_IP] && $this->headers->has(self::$trustedHeaders[self::HEADER_CLIENT_IP])) {
        $clientIps = array_map('trim', explode(',', $this->headers->get(self::$trustedHeaders[self::HEADER_CLIENT_IP])));
    }
    $clientIps[] = $ip; // Complete the IP chain with the IP the request actually came from
    $ip = $clientIps[0]; // Fallback to this when the client IP falls into the range of trusted proxies
    foreach ($clientIps as $key => $clientIp) {
        // Remove port (unfortunately, it does happen)
        if (preg_match('{((?:d+.){3}d+):d+}', $clientIp, $match)) {
            $clientIps[$key] = $clientIp = $match[1];
        }
        if (IpUtils::checkIp($clientIp, self::$trustedProxies)) {
            unset($clientIps[$key]);
        }
    }
    // Now the IP chain contains only untrusted proxies and the client IP
    return $clientIps ? array_reverse($clientIps) : array($ip);
}

You can extend the validator helper in Laravel to add your custom validation rules, for example I've created my own validation rule to validate location using regex as follow:

Validator::extend('location', function ($attribute, $value, $parameters, $validator) {
    return preg_match('/^-?d{1,2}.d{6,}s*,s*-?d{1,2}.d{6,}$/', $value);
});

Referencing this post: PHP preg_match UUID v4

You can the use UUID regex to create it as follows:

Validator::extend('uuid', function ($attribute, $value, $parameters, $validator) {
    return preg_match('/[a-f0-9]{8}-[a-f0-9]{4}-4[a-f0-9]{3}-(8|9|a|b)[a-f0-9]{3??}-[a-f0-9]{12}/', $value);
});

Hope that this match your request.

jQuery can handle JSONP, just pass an url formatted with the callback=? parameter to the $.getJSON method, for example:

$.getJSON("https://api.ipify.org/?format=json", function(e) {
    console.log(e.ip);
});

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

This example is of a really simple JSONP service implemented on with api.ipify.org.

If you aren't looking for a cross-domain solution the script can be simplified even more, since you don't need the callback parameter, and you return pure JSON.

Try this one,

String ipAddress = request.getHeader("X-FORWARDED-FOR");  
if (ipAddress == null) {  
    ipAddress = request.getRemoteAddr();  
}
