Grabbing an IP Address without needing to turn on Register Globals

How can I get the client's IP address in a PHP webservice?

I'm wanting to grab the IP Address from the user but I don't want to turn register globals on in my php.ini file. Is there a way to work around this and still grab the ip address?

This all over the internet. Please use search before you ask. — Peon, Oct 05 '12 at 06:33
I did do a search. I swear I read where you have to turn on register globals to grab the ip address. — thank_you, Oct 05 '12 at 06:42
Hey, I screwed up. I'm sorry. I requested to close the question so if 3 more people clicked close then this question can go to Purgatory. — thank_you, Oct 05 '12 at 07:21

Register Globals is not required to obtain the IP Address, why would you think it is?

Get the IP:

$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
