Forwarding an IP address within a File get contents

Hi,

Slight issues, I have two machines, A and B.

A simplified version is that...
Machine B serves a webpage. (The page must live on this server)
Machine A gets the webpage using a file get contents and displays the page to the end user.

This works fine. However the log files of B always show machine A as the IP address, which is correct. However it would be much better if machine B had the users IP address within the Log files. Is this possible? and if so, how?

Thanks

 

I don't know exactly how your script works, but I would do it like that

Server A:
first you get the ip of the user:

if ($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARD_FOR']) {
$ip = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARD_FOR'];
} else {
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
}

PHP:

then send the ip to Server B with a parameter:

$data = file_get_contents('http://www.serverb.com/content.php?ip='.$ip); 

PHP:

Server B:
There you go, here is the IP of the user. Now you can add it to your log!

$ip = $_GET['ip']

PHP:

 

log files of B still show the ip of A........I think there is no way to forward an ip address....
