Codeigniter get current ip address Example
You can get ip address using the following syntax-

The above syntax will return the current user’s ip and if ip addres is invalid it returns 0.0.0.0.
The input class is automatically loaded so need not to load manually, Just use – $this->input->ip_address(); to get the ip address.

$ip = "Your_IP"; $this->input->valid_ip($ip);
Pass the IP address to validate in valid_ip() function. It will return true if IP is valid and return false if IP is invalid.

$ip ='109.77.98.92';
$isValidIp = $this->input->valid_ip($ip);
if($isValidIp){
echo "Ip is valid";
}else{
echo "Ip is Not Valid";
}
