Third_Degree Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 you could check their ips and compare them to a list of ip ranges of the UK. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/116463-solved-checking-users-country/#findComment-598894 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Third_Degree Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 And I'm traveling in the UK but live in the states and want to ship it to the states... very true, i guess you could have the ip check give a default value in the form that the users can change.
