Upgrade to apache 2.0 and php 4.2

Just upgraded to apache 2.0 and php 4.2.2 with red hat 8.0/i migrated my web site from my other linux box(red hat 7.3/apache 1.3.23/php 4.1.2) and the only thing that doesnt work is my ip lookup script that uses getenv().is this an apache config problem or a php.ini problem?

Are you just doing:

$ip = getenv ("REMOTE_ADDR");

??

What kind of error do you get? If any?

Function from my user authorization class


function upd_conn_log()

{
// check if the user is behind an http proxy


if(getenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'))
{
$this->IP_ADDR = getenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR');
}
else if( getenv('HTTP_CLIENT_IP'))
{
$this->IP_ADDR = getenv('HTTP_CLIENT_IP');
}
else
{
$this->IP_ADDR = getenv( 'REMOTE_ADDR' );
}

//store info in database


if(!$this->usr_name || !$this->IP_ADDR)
{
echo "missing info for login_track";
return;
}

$this->login_date=date("Y-m-d H:i:s");

echo "<BR>";
echo "$this->usr_name<br>";
echo "$this->IP_ADDR<BR>";

Here is the actual code I am using/I am not getting a value for
"$this->IP_ADDR" and was getting it on my other Apache server with php 4.1.2. Just wondering what config setting needs to be altered for
the genenv() variables to be enabled/documentation kind of murky or I am
not looking in the right places. Thanks

Looks like this was a known bug and was fixed in a CVS version of PHP:

You might want to tryout the latest release of 4.3.0...

For a quick fix could I replace these variables with $_SERVER[] variables?
EX:
replace $this->IP_ADDR = getenv( 'REMOTE_ADDR' );

with $this->IP_ADDR = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
Any help would be appreciated.

Yep, you should be able to...

Did you run up2date yet also?

up2date says i have all updates installed.
I changed the code to use $_SERVER variables and the ip logging is working again. I will pursue the upgrade end also. If you guys think of anything else to try let me know. I really appreciate all the help.
