Description:
------------
The $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] contains the IP in IPv6 format. I'm using Aprelium's Abyss WebServer X1. With older versions of PHP(5.4.*, 5.3.*), this global value is in IPv4 format.

Test script:
---------------
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] contains what your webserver reports. PHP doesn't care. Your webserver reports what is actually used.

Then that was strange. I'm accessed my pages via my computer's netbios name. Now it's in IPv6 format, but why... Only the PHP version was changed, anything else aren't.
When I'm trying to connect with IPv4 addresses, the $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] contains IPv4 address again.

Thanks for the fast answer!
