How to get the visitor IP in the PHP
You can get the visitor’s IP using REMOTE_ADDR.
$visitorIp=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];If visitors use the proxy server then you will get the IP address of the proxy server. In this case, you need to check the 3 possibilities:
$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
$_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'];$_SERVER[‘REMOTE_ADDR’] is used to find the real IP address of the user.
$_SERVER[‘HTTP_CLIENT_IP’] is used to find the IP address when the user is accessing the page from the shared internet.
$_SERVER[‘HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR’] is used to find the IP address when the user uses a proxy to access the webpage.
<?php
$visitorip = $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"];
if (!empty($_SERVER["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"])) {
$visitorip .= '('.$_SERVER["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"].')';
}
if (!empty($_SERVER["HTTP_CLIENT_IP"])) {
$visitorip .= '('.$_SERVER["HTTP_CLIENT_IP"].')';
}
echo $visitorip;
