jmbinfo Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 hello - I am trying to find a solution where we can show content based on the user's physical location. For example, if we had a gardening website and someone visited the site from California we should show them plants that reside in California. I am not a PHP guy but instead I am on a fact finding mission that I will forward on to our dev team. Thanks in advance!

MadTechie Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Okay, to find where a visitor is, its probably best use an IP lookup, eash ISP buy a range of IP address and register them under their name, this includes country, town and city. to get the visitors IP address just use $_SERVER['REMOTE_HOST'] to find the details about that IP, you can use ip2location this is a paid for service, so their will be a cost, their are some free ones (google for IP to city database, or something like that) as a note, you may want to allow the uses to also select their location as a manual override, as the lookup will not always be 100% correct Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/159109-show-content-based-on-the-visitors-physical-location/#findComment-839269 Share on other sites More sharing options...
