They're exactly the same. UserHostAddress simply calls GetRemoteAddress.

public string UserHostAddress
{
    get
    {
        if (this._wr != null)
        {
            return this._wr.GetRemoteAddress();
        }
        return null;
    }
}

public override string GetRemoteAddress()
{
    return this.GetServerVariable("REMOTE_ADDR");
}

Both are also supported from .NET Framework 1.0/1.1 onward.

both will return the same value as an IP-Address i would prefer Request.UserHostAddress because it's definitely supported from .net framework 1.0 to 4.5

take a look: MSDN

Try using

phpinfo();

It should give you something like REMOTE_ADDR which is the variable you need to grab in your php script. This should be passed from the webserver to your PHP script.

Then use:

$ip = getenv('REMOTE_ADDR');

that'd be fine *if* using PHP, note it's using .NET in the tag (and Code) – Paul Farry Jul 12 '12 at 06:00
