README
Requirements None (only the 'GeoIP.dat' file is needed). To download a free GeoIP Standard Country database, go to http://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geolite Install Just place the 'geoip.inc' file somewhere according to the 'include_path' directive of your 'php.ini' file, or just place it in the same directory as your PHP scripts. Usage Gets country name by hostname : include("geoip.inc"); $gi = geoip_open("/usr/local/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat",GEOIP_STANDARD); echo geoip_country_code_by_addr($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 to the second argument of geoip_open For GEOIP_SHARED_MEMORY, requires php >= 4.0.4, and --enable-shmop passed at 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. Working with PHP5. geoip_country_code_by_addr should work with PHP.
