Kohana accessing client ip

Question

I am using kohana 3.2, and i would like to acces client ip from request class, in documentation i can see public static string $client_ip which should contain client ip, now if i try to access it i like so:

Request::$client_ip;

I get: string(3) "::1" it makes no sense at all, what am i doing wrong, or maybe it's impossible to access it?

Why doesn't it make sense? You access your script locally, your IPv6 address is ::1 – Gotthard

@Gotthard oh my god how could i forget about that... – Reparative

How to get client ip address in kohana 2.3.4? can any one tell me the code? – Squeteague

@Squeteague I'm not sure about 2.3.4 but you can always just use $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] – Reparative

@Reparative Thank you, i got the solution. In Kohana 2.3.4 we use $this->input->ip_address(); – Squeteague
