How to use PHP to show visitor's IP address?

Question

I tried these and
they don't display anything, not even zeros.

echo "Your IP Address is $_SERVER[REMOTE_ADDR]";
?>

Displays the IP address of my hosting provider's server and not the visitor's.

Answer 1

What you have is correct, but your provider might be using a reverse proxy which would throw that off.

try:
$_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']

instead.

(I'm not sure why it's getting cut off. Just replace REMOTE_ADDR with X_FORWARDED_FOR in your command.)
