Why my loopback address is ::1 instead of 127.0.0.1 ?

This is not working, it doesn't throw me any errors too

if($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] == '127.0.0.1') {
  //My code
}
//NOTE: echo $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] is "::1"

because you're in local host:

if($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] == '127.0.0.1' || $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] == '::1') {
  //Your code
}

if($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] == '::1' || $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] == '127.0.0.1') {
   //Your Code
}

this should make it safe even if you migrate to another server.

as stated before, server is configured to handle it with ipv6 address and ::1 is the ipv6 equivalent of 127.0.0.1

The reason you got ::1 is that you are using ipv6. Turn it off or have both 127.0.0.1 and ::1 in your statement.

Everything looks fine in your code, Try this and see, if it's IPv6, this should work

if($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] == '::1') {
   //Your Code
}
