If your request is going through a proxy, $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"] will contain the ip address for the proxy. The proxy might add a HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR header to the request which will contain the ip address of the client to the proxy, which should be where the request originated. It is possible for a request to travel through several proxies and then the HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR header will be added several times.
$_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'] if exists will contain the ip address of where the request originated if the request was proxied. $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'] may be an array if the request was proxied several times.

Anyway, sometime I get the correct IP address, but sometime NOT. Does anyone know why?
