PHP - Converting IP to Country

Hello,

Is there any function/pre-made scripts in php which can tell me the name of country based on IP?


For example: If I supply an IP 132.162.138.139 then the script would echo "India"

Thanx in advance

Search Google: php ip2country

Moved to Script Requests.

Have a look at this class. From the looks of it, it does what you want.

If you put detail in your requests and state what you have already tried (to show that you have tried something) you won't get "google" type answers.

We only see the information that you provide in your post. If you just put

Is there any function/pre-made scripts in php which can tell me the name of country based on IP?

how do we know from that what you have already tried?

At least 60% of the questions seen on a forum like this are basic self research questions (look it up in the manual or search for it on the Internet) by people that don't seem to have the ability to look it up in a manual or search for it on the Internet. If there is no detail in your question to give us an idea of how you got to this point, you will probably get the most basic response that fits the level and detail of the question that was asked.

I just looked at the class Christian suggested, and it seems like it's connecting to a remote site to get the country information. If you don't want that, you can download a GeoLite City db yourself, and install it on your server:

What do you want me to do then, write one for you? That search turns up plenty of scripts.

Hi,

Does anyone know how to detect the country of the user? They are all located inside intranet and these users can be in the intranet of different countries. Since they are in the intranet their ip is something like 10.x.x.x. How to get the external ip address to make use of the GeoIp. Thanks.

You dont like reading post properly, do you?

I asked

Is there any function/pre-made scripts

which means, "Do you know any function/pre-made scripts that does this thing"

Gottcha??

He read properly. What he's trying to say is that you didn't search well enough. Because if you do search for "ip2country", you WILL find functions/pre-made scripts...

If you still need help, look at Mab's post above first.
