PHP: Get REAL client IP if hosting with Heroku [duplicate]

Question

In the past I used

$ip = $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"];

Which would return the client's IP. I've recently started hosting my site with Heroku, and I found that the above code no longer returns the client IP.

Has anyone come across this? How would I use PHP to obtain the real IP address of the client if my site is hosted with Heroku?

$ip = $_SERVER["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"];
