hey guys cheers for all the input Seems like I don't have cURL installed so I tried MB's idea using fopen <? $ip = addslashes($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']); $data = fopen("http://www.showmyip.com/?ip=$ip", "r"); print' $data'; ?> that returns only $data seems nothing is caputered but when i try http://www.showmyip.com/?ip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx it returns all the details so the format is right again thanks

okai keep getting this error <?php $ip = addslashes($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']); // initialise the session, this time with no URL $ch = curl_init(); // Setting the URL including the IP curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.showmyip.com/?ip=$ip"); // Return the output from the cURL session rather than displaying in the browser. curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); //Executting the session, returning the results to $country, and close. $html = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); print "$html"; ?> Fatal error: Call to undefined function: curl_init() in /home/www/digitall/func_test.php on line 7

Okai gotcha <?php $ip = addslashes($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']); // initialise the session, this time with no URL $ch = curl_init(); // Setting the URL including the IP curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.showmyip.com/?ip=$ip"); // Return the output from the cURL session rather than displaying in the browser. curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); //Executting the session, returning the results to $country, and close. $Country = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); print "country of $ip: $Country"; ?> doesn't return anything

Thanks guys , but don't think I explained myself good I did try the IP range but thats too much and don't have that of a big database so I jsut wanted to use showmyip.com as webservice to check the ip I send and recive back the country name $ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; $url='http://www.showmyip.com/?ip='; Its just how to actully send it automaticlly when the user logs in the page and then direct him upon finding his country

Hey guys , just need a little help I want to send a search string to showmyip.com and get the results back .. anyone ot similar experince?

Hey guys , how could I display results or sort results but latest added only the latest added entry ? thanks alot in advance

umh okai I am a student so take it easy on me, I though the page will be generated on the fly, do i have to create a indivdual page for each and every result? cause that will just defy the purpose of the database.. ps; thanks ALOT for the help :)
