Usage

The geoip class takes a config array as the first parameter or defaults to using the ip-api driver.

Example:

<?php

use PulkitJalan\GeoIP\GeoIP

$geoip = new GeoIP();

$lat = $geoip->getLatitude(); // 51.5141
$lon = $geoip->getLongitude(); // -3.1969

FreeGeoIP

To use the freegeoip as the driver set the config.

Example:

$config = [
    'driver' => 'freegeoip',
    'freegeoip' => [
        'secure' => true,
    ],
];

Custom install example:

$config = [
    'driver' => 'freegeoip',
    'freegeoip' => [
        'url' => 'freegeoip.example.com', // or with a port (freegeoip.example.com:8080)
        'secure' => true, // or false
    ],
];

IP-API

To use the ip-api pro service you can set the options in your config.

Pro Example:

$config = [
    'driver' => 'ip-api',
    'ip-api' => [
        'key' => 'YOUR IP-API KEY',

        // optionally set secure (https) connection (default: false)
        'secure' => true
    ],
];

Maxmind

Maxmind support the database type and also web api type.

Database Example:

$config = [
    'driver' => 'maxmind',
    'maxmind' => [
        'database' => '/path/to/database.mmdb',
    ],
];

Web API Example:

$config = [
    'driver' => 'maxmind',
    'maxmind' => [
        'user_id' => 'YOUR MAXMIND USER ID',
        'license_key' => 'YOUR MAXMIND LICENSE KEY'
    ],
];

Telize

To use the telize as the driver set the config, and your api key.

Example:

$config = [
    'driver' => 'telize',
    'telize' => [
        'key' => 'YOUR IP-API KEY',
    ],
];

Laravel

To use this package in Laravel, simply update the config file in config/geoip.php to get the same effect. The driver can be set using the GEOIP_DRIVER env.

Available Methods

GeoIP will try to determin the ip using the following http headers: HTTP_CLIENT_IP, HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR, HTTP_X_FORWARDED, HTTP_FORWARDED_FOR, HTTP_FORWARDED, REMOTE_ADDR in this order. Optionally use the setIp method to set it.

$geoip->setIp('127.0.0.1');

// Laravel
GeoIP::setIp('127.0.0.1');

There are a number of available methods to pull out the required information. All methods will return an empty string if data is unavailable.

Update Database

There is an update command available to help with updating and installing a local geoip database. The following will download and install/update the database file to /path/to/database.mmdb.

<?php

use PulkitJalan\GeoIP\GeoIPUpdater

$config = [
    'driver' => 'maxmind',
    'maxmind' => [
        'database' => '/path/to/database.mmdb',
    ],
];

$geoipUpdater = new GeoIPUpdater($config);
$geoipUpdater->update();

Laravel

Once you have registered the service provider, you can use the command php artisan geoip:update
