Adapted from this answer:

function GetIP()
{
    foreach (array('HTTP_CLIENT_IP', 'HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR', 'HTTP_X_FORWARDED', 'HTTP_X_CLUSTER_CLIENT_IP', 'HTTP_FORWARDED_FOR', 'HTTP_FORWARDED', 'REMOTE_ADDR') as $key)
    {
        if (array_key_exists($key, $_SERVER) === true)
        {
            foreach (array_map('trim', explode(',', $_SERVER[$key])) as $ip)
            {
                if (filter_var($ip, FILTER_VALIDATE_IP, FILTER_FLAG_NO_PRIV_RANGE | FILTER_FLAG_NO_RES_RANGE) !== false)
                {
                    return $ip;
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Checks for IPs (in order) in:

1. HTTP_CLIENT_IP
2. HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR
3. HTTP_X_FORWARDED
4. HTTP_X_CLUSTER_CLIENT_IP
5. HTTP_FORWARDED_FOR
6. HTTP_FORWARDED
7. REMOTE_ADDR

Remember that the only IP address you can trust is the one coming from $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'].
