IP to Country

PHP
1

Hello,

I’ve created a PHP script (combined with a MySQL database) that looks up the country for the ip address.

Can you guys check and see if your country is displayed correctly?

Got mine right as well.

Is this code you are going to be releasing?

Got mine correct as well. Don’t forget if needed to test against someone who uses a proxy in a country different from their own

That’s amazing. Can you narrow it down by state, city?

Download a free database to do it, lampcms.com; I dont recall if MaxMind give a free version of their city database, but they certainly do the country level and i think the state level.

Every IPv4 address can be represented as an unsigned 32-bit integer; as IP’s are assigned by block, any IP can be tracked down using such a database and a simple BETWEEN comparison.
