$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] will contain the remote user's IP address IF it is
set by the user agent (browser).
It's also worth noting that this IP address could be faked, could be rotated
by their ISP on a request-by-request basis (eg all AOL users), could be that
of their firewall or network gateway, etc etc.
It's fine to log it, but don't rely on it for future visits, or anything
like that :)
