To get the ip you can use this php function:

Code:

function get_client_ip()
{
        if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP']))
  {
   $ip = $_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'];
        }
  elseif (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']))
  {
            $ip = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
        }
  else
  {
            $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
        }
        return $ip;
    }

In the controller calling the view do

Code:

$ip = get_client_ip();
// then do something with that value
