How to get my site visitor's IP address in php [duplicate]

Question

using $_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'] is not providing the client's ip address.

What could be the reason?

Client machine may be behind an proxy or a NATed network connection. Try HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR or REMOTE_ADDR as well — Surfrdan

Try $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] or $_SERVER['REMOTE_HOST']. That will give you your clients remote IP.
