How to display contents for overseas costumers, and US costumers and UK costumer

[samoi]

Hello guys

 

How are you all?

 

I just want to know the idea of scripting a php script so that it determine a US user and display the "voting pools" for example.

and UK users to display some other ads which is concerning the UK, and the overseas users I want to to display a regular ads, can that be happened?

 

I'm just wondering, and would love to know what kind of functions should I use if this works.

I think you will either need to use a database or a service.

 

I found this thread on the subject: http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread45179.html

They talk about a script that could supposedly do what you want to do:

 

<?php
function countryCityFromIP($ipAddr)
{
//function to find <strong class="highlight">country</strong> and city from <strong class="highlight">IP</strong> <strong class="highlight">address</strong>
//Developed <strong class="highlight">by</strong> Roshan Bhattarai [url]http://roshanbh.com.np[/url]

//verify the <strong class="highlight">IP</strong> <strong class="highlight">address</strong> for the
ip2long($ipAddr)== -1 || ip2long($ipAddr) === false ? trigger_error("Invalid IP", E_USER_ERROR) : "";
$ipDetail=array(); //initialize a blank array

//get the XML result from hostip.info
$xml = file_get_contents("http://api.hostip.info/?ip=".$ipAddr);

//get the city name inside the node <gml:name> and </gml:name>
preg_match("@<Hostip>(\s)*<gml:name>(.*?)</gml:name>@si",$xml,$match);

//assing the city name to the array
$ipDetail['city']=$match[2]; 

//get the <strong class="highlight">country</strong> name inside the node <countryName> and </countryName>
preg_match("@<countryName>(.*?)</countryName>@si",$xml,$matches);

//assign the <strong class="highlight">country</strong> name to the $ipDetail array
$ipDetail['country']=$matches[1];

//get the <strong class="highlight">country</strong> name inside the node <countryName> and </countryName>
preg_match("@<countryAbbrev>(.*?)</countryAbbrev>@si",$xml,$cc_match);
$ipDetail['country_code']=$cc_match[1]; //assing the <strong class="highlight">country</strong> code to array

//return the array containing city, <strong class="highlight">country</strong> and <strong class="highlight">country</strong> code
return $ipDetail;

}
?>
