$IP = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$logdetails=  date("F j, Y, g:i a O T") . ': ' .
'<a href=http://www.geobytes.com/IpLocator.htm?GetLocation&ipaddress='.$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'].'>'

Your httpd access logs will have the IP address for every request to apache.

Try This:

function getipaddress()
{
	if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']))
	{
		$ip = $_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'];
	}
	else if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP']))
	{
		$ip = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
	}
	else if (!empty($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']))
	{
		$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
	}
	else
	{
		die("If you are receiving this message, please contact the webmaster at ______________");
	}
	return $ip;
}

This code works just fine for my website. Although I don't have much use for it. I wanted to block specific IP address back when I started web programming. Then I realized that the IP addresses are not static.

I only remember one or two times this code failed to get the IP.

Good luck!
