Php Get request with client parameters

Question

I need to make a http get request in php. So far I have the php go to the url and login via the username and password parameters.

However the url I am trying to access generates a token using my ip. However this generates the token using the ip of my webserver that is making the request. How can I make it use the ip of whatever device is accessing the file and almost forward it on?

Is this possible?

Can you post the code you are currently using? Do you use curl or some other method? — maxpelic, Mar 23 '19 at 02:21
At the moment I’m using a stream and encoding the username and password parameters in base64 then optimum the file — Mohammed Salaam, Mar 23 '19 at 02:22
I think if you include the code in your question it might be easier for people to answer. — maxpelic, Mar 23 '19 at 02:27

You can use

$userIp = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

Would this transfer to the url that I am sending the get request to? – Mohammed Salaam Mar 23 '19 at 01:31

$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] contains the IP address of the remote host requesting the page.

Not always, depends on the setup – Lawrence Cherone Mar 23 '19 at 01:39
True, a proxy or VPN may alter this; there is the HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR, but that can be spoofed relatively easily. REMOTE_ADDR is the only "guaranteed" REAL address. – AC2MO Mar 23 '19 at 01:42
How would I use this To make the url I am accessing use the ip of the device instead of my web server? – Mohammed Salaam Mar 23 '19 at 02:00
