如何在laravel 5.1中检索访问者IP地址

Question

I am trying to get site visitors ip address & want to store that in table. This is my code to store data

public function store(Request $request)
{
    $secretcode=str_random(10);
    while(1)
    {
        $txnid=substr(hash('sha256', mt_rand() . microtime()), 0, 20);
        $txnstatus=Ticket::where('transactionid',$txnid)->get();
        if($txnstatus->isEmpty())
            break;


    }
    $request['ipaddress']=$request->ip();
    $request['transactionid']=$txnid;
    $request['secretcode']=$secretcode;


     $input=$request->all();
     Ticket::create($input);
     return view('payment');
}

I am using this line to get ip address

 $request['ipaddress']=$request->ip();

When this code inserts data into database table, it shows like this

Someone please help me to get this work done. I also used Request::ip() but even that didn't work.

Important is that I am working in localhost environment with active internet connection.

Your code is working fine. $request->ip() it should work and i tried it by myself to make sure your code is correct. ::1 this result is normal if you run in local environment. try it in hosting server to see your actual IP
