I want to get value 127.0.0.1 when do $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']. But instead getting 127.0.0.1. I get value ::1. Anyone can help me how to get that value? Used it for log activity.

::1 is an IPv6 address and an abbreviation for 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 that is the loopback address to the local machine. So ::1 is the same as 127.0.0.1 only via IPv6 instead of IPv4.
If you really just want IPv4, try to disable IPv6 connections in your apache configuration:
Listen 0.0.0.0:80
Listen 192.170.2.1:80

hmm i see. then i cant get value 127.0.0.1? i want to save it in database, and then show it in the log activity page. Show in log activity page using 127.0.0.1 is better than show ::1 – Rudy Hartanto Apr 25 '13 at 05:33

You can just check the link which I have added with the answer. You just need to change your .conf settings and restart the server. – chandresh_cool Apr 25 '13 at 05:34
