+     * Returns the IP address if found, an empty string if not. The
+     * output is santized via FILTER_VALIDATE_IP.
+     *
+     * The algorithm uses the HTTP_CLIENT_IP and HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR
+     * globals to infer the IP address; if they are not available (as
+     * it is the case in most cases), it uses the REMOTE_ADDR global.
+     *
+     * Do not use this function to grant access or privileges to
+     * IP addresses, because the HTTP_CLIENT_IP and
+     * HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR globals can be easily spoofed.
+     *
+     * On the other hand, the REMOTE_ADDR global is very difficult
+     * to spoof. However, when the client is beyond a proxy, it isn't
+     * necessarily the correct IP.
