I can't seem to find any references to HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR in the PDF PHP documentation from January 2001, so you should probably best stick with either $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REMOTE_ADDR'] or simply $REMOTE_ADDR (if you use $REMOTE_ADDR in functions make sure you do a global on it first) - I personally use $REMOTE_ADDR, but you should read the docs for details...
