You should stick with `$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]`. Other fields can be easily spoofed. Also read [this Q](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3699454/should-ip-serverremote-addr-return-1-on-a-mamp-localhost), it may help — nice ass, Jun 06 '13 at 11:27
You are accessing that script through a webserver right ? And not command line ? (yes.. it happens :) — Damien Overeem, Jun 06 '13 at 11:30

Try this

//Get Visitor's information  
  $visitorData = Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->getVisitorData();  

  // printing visitor information data  
  echo "<pre>"; print_r($visitorData); echo "</pre>";  

  // user's ip address (visitor's ip address)  
  $remoteAddr = Mage::helper('core/http')->getRemoteAddr(true);  

  // server's ip address (where the current script is)  
  $serverAddr = Mage::helper('core/http')->getServerAddr(true);

Thank you for your response @Nathan Srivi. In local host only it displays like that. But when i moved into live site,that problem was solved. Thank you – DRAJI Jul 27 '13 at 04:36
Remember that is you're using cloudflare you may use `$_SERVER['HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP']`. More info in [this topic](https://stackoverflow.com/a/14985633/529403). – Ricardo Martins Sep 02 '20 at 00:31

In Magento, you have to get the remove/customer IP address in the following way

Print Mage::helper('core/http')->getRemoteAddr(true);

This will still return the ipv6 address. – Damien Overeem Jun 06 '13 at 11:37

It's the IPV6 version of localhost.

Switch to ipv4 (if neccesary) by changing your apache listen port (in httpd.conf) to Listen 0.0.0.0:80 and restart apache. This forces the webserver to use the ipv4 ip. $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] will now return 127.0.0.1.

See a discussion about this here: http://board.issociate.de/thread/489575/SERVERquotREMOTEADDRquot-returning-1.html
