$_SERVER['X_FORWARDED_FOR'] doesnt exist

I've tried using a proxy to find it and looked through it using print_r and everything, it just doesn't exist, what am I missing?

I think it should be HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR

That apparently, doesn't exist either. Can't find it. :/

It's X-Forwarded-For. Although I'm not sure if PHP would convert hyphens to underscores. Web-based proxies won't pass a X-Forwarded-For, but normal proxies, such as those on 8080, should do.

The XFF project may of be some use to you in this case.

Is it actually set? You won't find it unless the header itself is sent (and it isn't always).

Tried that. Man this is old, I think I understand what the problem is now cause I read more of wild honeys post -_-
