Note Submitter: softontherocks at gmail dot com ---- I want to share with you a full function to get the remote IP that calls a PHP url using the $_SERVER array. function getRealIP(){  if( $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'] != '' ){   $client_ip =    ( !empty($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']) ) ?     $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']    :             ( ( !empty($_ENV['REMOTE_ADDR']) ) ?     $_ENV['REMOTE_ADDR']     :     "unknown" );     $entries = split('[, ]', $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']);     reset($entries);   while (list(, $entry) = each($entries)){    $entry = trim($entry);    if ( preg_match("/^([0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+)/", $entry, $ip_list) ){     // http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1918.html     $private_ip = array(      '/^0\./',      '/^127\.0\.0\.1/',      '/^192\.168\..*/',      '/^172\.((1[6-9])|(2[0-9])|(3[0-1]))\..*/',      '/^10\..*/');       $found_ip = preg_replace($private_ip, $client_ip, $ip_list[1]);       if ($client_ip != $found_ip){      $client_ip = $found_ip;      break;     }    }   }  } else {   $client_ip =    ( !empty($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']) ) ?     $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']    :     ( ( !empty($_ENV['REMOTE_ADDR']) ) ?     $_ENV['REMOTE_ADDR']     :     "unknown" );  }  return $client_ip; } This function was found in http://softontherocks.blogspot.com/2013/07/obtener-la-direccion-ip-que-solicita.html
