From: pubtom at bigfoot dot com Operating system: N/A PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: Bad german translation concerning $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']
Description: ------------ This is about the german translation of the description of the predefined variable $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] Documentation: English original: http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php 'REMOTE_ADDR' The IP address from which the user is viewing the current page. This is partly correct. If there is no proxy, it is the IP address of the user's computer. If there is a proxy, it is the IP address of the proxy. German translation: http://www.php.net/manual/de/reserved.variables.php 'REMOTE_ADDR' Die IP-Adresse des Servers, von dem die aktuelle Seite geladen wurde. The word "Server" seems wrong and confusing to me. To me, the words "server" and "client" have the following meaning: On one side of the internet, there is the user ("client"), on the other side, there is the webserver with PHP ("server"). Thus, $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] contains the IP address of the "client". I suggest the following translation, which also is technically more precise/correct: "Die IP-Adresse des Rechners, der die aktuelle Seite angefordert hat." ("The IP address of the computer that requested the current page.") -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=27635&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27635&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27635&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27635&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27635&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27635&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27635&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27635&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27635&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27635&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27635&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27635&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27635&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27635&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27635&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27635&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27635&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27635&r=float
