README

This package is abandoned and no longer maintained. The author suggests using the https://github.com/sudiptpa/ipstack package instead.

[The old freegeoip API is now deprecated and will be discontinued on July 1st, 2018]

A simple implementation for IP to Location with http://freegeoip.net an open source platform.

http://freegeoip.net provides a public HTTP API for software developers to search the geolocation of IP addresses. It uses a database of IP addresses that are associated to cities along with other relevant information like time zone, latitude and longitude.

You're allowed up to 15,000 queries per hour by default. Once this limit is reached, all of your requests will result in HTTP 403, forbidden, until your quota is cleared.

The freegeoip web server is free and open source so if the public service limit is a problem for you, download it and run your own instance.

Installation

You can install the package via composer: Composer.

composer require sudiptpa/geoip

And run composer to update your dependencies:

$ curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php
$ php composer.phar update

Usage

This package only supports json format for now.

Here are a few examples on how you can use the package:

  $geo = new Sujip\GeoIp\GeoIp($ip);
  
  $geo->country();
  
  $geo->city();
  
  $geo->region();

Also have a look in the source code of Sujip\GeoIp\GeoIp to discover the methods you can use.
