How to get the Client IP that request a Tor WebPage?

Question

i'm running an hidden service as the final exam of my school, but i've a problem: i have to show that the IP of the same computer which connects to my website can change in a bit , but when i try functions such as $ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; it always gives me 127.0.0.1 instead of the last tor node which connects to me. How can i solve this ? Is it normal on the Tor network? Cheers in advance!

There is a no direct way , but you can try using a third party server to get actual ip even from localhost server.

 <?php         
    $content = file_get_contents('http://checkip.dyndns.com/');
    preg_match('/Current IP Address: \[?([:.0-9a-fA-F]+)\]?/', $content, $ip);
    echo $externalIp = $ip[1];
 ?>

Here is a working PHPFiddle . Hope this will help, cheers :)
