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

Heres a search for it on sourceforge.
http://sourceforge.net/search/?type_...to+country+php
There are a number of IP to country scripts in PHP there..
What to note is that differnet scripts use different IP to Address databases. Some are better than others.
If you're interested in writing your own, you can download a database from sourceforge, or http://www.hostip.info for example..
Then use it to get the country from the IP.
Another way is to use a webservice.
For instance you can use this one:
http://www.hostip.info/use.html
To get the country would be:
http://api.hostip.info/country.php?ip=$IP
Where $IP is the user IP.
PHP would look something like:
[php]
<?php
$country = '';
$IP = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
if (!empty($IP)) {
$country = file_get_contents('http://api.hostip.info/country.php?ip='.$IP);
}
?>
[/php]
