PHP Function to return your IP address

Here’s a quick little function which can be used to return your IP address

function getRemoteIPAddress() {
    $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
    return $ip;
}

The result can be very handy when combined with an if statement to code parts of a site you don’t want the end user to see. Just remember you need to know your IP address before you can create the statement below.

$ip = getRemoteIPAddress();

if ($ip == "insert your IP here") {
    //run the code only you want to see here
}
