Question
php code not running
As i continue with my first ubuntu server, following the lamp installation tutorial at https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-apache-mysql-php-lamp-stack-on-ubuntu-20-04-quickstart-es
i configured everything without much issue until i decided to create a different php script and upload it to the server.
the code is supposed to show your ip (here is the script)
<?php
function getUserIpAddr(){
if(!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'])){
//ip from share internet
$ip = $_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'];
}elseif(!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'])){
//ip pass from proxy
$ip = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
}else{
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
}
return $ip;
}
echo 'User Real IP - '.getUserIpAddr();
?>
but when i connect to it through a web browser like ‘server ip/file.php’ all i get is the 'User Real IP’ message without the actual interesting part wich is the ip, does this mean php isnt executing the code or what am i missing here
