Get user ip address in zend framework

Question

How can I get the client's IP address in Zend-framework 2? It'd be $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] in plain PHP, but maybe is smart Zend function?

Any ideas?

Answer 1

The request object(s) in ZF2 has method named getServer. This method returns an object implementing \Zend\Stdlib\ParametersInterface. With this particular object you can get anything from the $_SERVER variable.

Here are two examples of how to use the method and object:

<?php 
    // Getting the entire params object
    $servParam = $request->getServer();
    $remoteAddr = $servParam->get('REMOTE_ADDR');

    // Getting specific variable
    $remoteAddr = $request->getServer('REMOTE_ADDR');
?>
