It's easy to get a visitor's IP address, but ... realize that this IP
address will NOT last.
If it's a dialup, EVERY time they exit/enter, they'll have a new IP.
If it's DSL, the IP changes on usually a set schedule with a few
exceptions. Most seem to get a new IP at least every 24 hours or less, plus
the user can easily kill and request a new address anytime he wants to.
I don't know what FIOS does; it's a different animal and so if IPV6.

Your IP CAN be changed even as you are using your client for access.

You really need to make yourself familiar with "the man ual" and other PHP
resources; then you wouldn't have had to ask here.

Google only has 16 million results on a search, so ... learn how to use it
for what you need. These are all from the first page of displays.
