title: Get the End User ip address using php
body: <p>I know this question was asked by many times, but I did not get the correct answer from my side. Here I am using the following code to get the end user system IP address from my hosted website. </p>
  
  <pre><code>function ipCheck() {
      if (getenv('HTTP_CLIENT_IP')) {
          $ip = getenv('HTTP_CLIENT_IP');
      }
      elseif (getenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR')) {
          $ip = getenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR');
      }
      elseif (getenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED')) {
          $ip = getenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED');
      }
      elseif (getenv('HTTP_FORWARDED_FOR')) {
          $ip = getenv('HTTP_FORWARDED_FOR');
      }
      elseif (getenv('HTTP_FORWARDED')) {
          $ip = getenv('HTTP_FORWARDED');
      }
      else {
          $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
      }
      return $ip;
  }
  echo ipCheck();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In my local network this code is working fine. It correctly gave my local IP 192.168.xxx.xxx. but when I run this code on my website, it gave some other ip address.</p>
