Advance IP info using PHP

[depojones]

Hi folks,

 

Is it possible to get the location of an IP address in PHP

 

example:

 

Your IP address is : 127.0.0.1

Your City is: Hell

 

Thanks in advance

ok you would have to have ur db filled with ip and locations ect... so a quick way is to use anouther site and pull there results like so

 

<?
$ip = '59.93.196.219';
$url = "http://www.ipmango.com/api.php?ip=".$ip;
$xml = simplexml_load_file($url);
echo "IP address : {$xml->ipaddress} <br />";
echo "City : {$xml->city} <br />";
echo "Region : {$xml->region} <br />";
echo "Country Name : {$xml->countryname} <br />";
echo "Latitude : {$xml->latitude} <br />";
echo "Longitude : {$xml->longitude} <br />";
?>

For the ip address use

 

$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']

 

For the city there no function for that. You will have to find a database make a script for it.

 

MaxMind have a nice database of IP address with ISP/City/Latitude-Longitude/...

or you can ask google maybe someone made a API or offer a service for that

OK guys. I was thinking of that too. I thought there was a function that displays the city / state for an IP.

 

Thanks anyway
