function getRemoteIPAddress() { $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; return $ip; } The above code will not work in case your client is behind proxy server. In that case use below function to get real IP address of client. function getRealIPAddr() { if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'])) //check ip from share internet { $ip=$_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP']; } elseif (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'])) //to check ip is pass from proxy { $ip=$_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']; } else { $ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; } return $ip; }
