Requirements

This module has no external dependencies. You only need a MaxMind GeoIP database. To download a free GeoIP Standard Country database, please see our GeoLite page.

Installing with Composer

Define Your Dependencies

We recommend installing this package with Composer. To do this, add geoip/geoip to your composer.json file.

{
    "require": {
        "daigo75/geoip": "~1.14"
    }
}

Install Composer

Run in your project root:

curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php

Install Dependencies

Run in your project root:

php composer.phar install

Require Autoloader

You can autoload all dependencies by adding this to your code:

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

Installing without Composer

Place the 'geoip.inc' file in the include_path as specified in your php.ini file or place it in the same directory as your PHP scripts.

Usage

Gets country name by hostname :

<?php

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$gi = geoip_open("/usr/local/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat",GEOIP_STANDARD);

echo geoip_country_code_by_addr($gi, "24.24.24.24") . "\t" .
     geoip_country_name_by_addr($gi, "24.24.24.24") . "\n";
echo geoip_country_code_by_addr($gi, "80.24.24.24") . "\t" .
     geoip_country_name_by_addr($gi, "80.24.24.24") . "\n";

geoip_close($gi);

Memory Caching

To enable memory caching, pass GEOIP_SHARED_MEMORY or GEOIP_MEMORY_CACHE as the second argument of geoip_open.

GEOIP_SHARED_MEMORY requires php >= 4.0.4 compiled with --enable-shmop configure time. See (http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.shmop.php). In addition, you should call geoip_load_shared_mem before calling geoip_open. See sample_city.php for an example of shared memory caching.
