[SOLVED] IP script bugs cont'd

[darkfreaks]

ok so im trying to view the site with an ip of 70.112.156.140

 

but it tells me i am banned even though its a united states address. maybe the lack of range of adresses in the database?

 

i would need  the range of adresses for this IP

Example from database:

 

0000000000,0000000000, UNITED STATES

 

[Maq]

I have no clue what you're talking about, could you post a link from the previous thread?  Or elaborate a bit more?

[redarrow]

are you looking, for a geo something type of application?

 

 

[darkfreaks]

yeah i currently have a CSV file that reads ranges of IP's but its not very accurate, know any better ones out there ???

[redarrow]

i min bro just looking, i think there one on here somewhere, that use curl would that be ok?

[darkfreaks]

yeah that would be because that would pull it off a more accurate website.

[redarrow]

have you seen this one sorry looking for the code so sorry.

 

 

sorry double posted here sorry admin.

[redarrow]

try this please should work easy to use.

[darkfreaks]

how do i take that curl script and create something that willcompare the person's IP to the GEO IP database and return the country United States and if it matches to let them enter the site else put up a message if it doesnt match United states?

How about this...

 

<?php
<?php

   /**
    * Geolocation API access
    *
    * @param    string  $ip         IP address to query
    * @param    string  $format     output format of response
    *
    * @return   string  XML, JSON or CSV string
    */
    function get_ip_location($ip, $format="xml") {

        /* Set allowed output formats */
        $formats_allowed = array("json", "xml", "raw");

        /* IP location query url */
        $query_url = "http://iplocationtools.com/ip_query.php?ip=";

        /* Male sure that the format is one of json, xml, raw.
           Or else default to xml */
        if(!in_array($format, $formats_allowed)) {
            $format = "xml";
        }

        $query_url = $query_url . "{$ip}&output={$format}";

        /* Init CURL and its options*/
        $ch = curl_init();
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $query_url);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 15);

        /* Execute CURL and get the response */
        return curl_exec($ch);

    }


    $location_data = get_ip_location("70.112.156.140");

    //here you could use a regular expression or something along those lines to extract the information that is between "<CountryName>" and "</CountryName>" (I'll let you figure that one out on your own or see if someone else here can do it for you.

//from there just use your previous code to check and see if the country name matches your if statements

?>

 

REMEMBER to trim your data (we had that big issue last time ;-) )

[darkfreaks]

i got one question instead of manually inputting an IP into the code like they have can i do something like

 

 

$IP_location= get_ip_location($SERVER[REMOTE_ADDR);

 

then use if statements to compare the country?

[cunoodle2]

Yes, absolutely can be done without issue.  I was doing that just for example reasons.

[darkfreaks]

now i just need to get the response between <countryname> </countryname> xml tags anyone got any idea ???

[anupamsaha]

Hello,

 

I have extended the code a bit in order to get the <CountryName></CountryName> node from xml string.

 

<?php

   /**
    * Geolocation API access
    *
    * @param    string  $ip         IP address to query
    * @param    string  $format     output format of response
    *
    * @return   string  XML, JSON or CSV string
    */
    function get_ip_location($ip, $format="xml") {

        /* Set allowed output formats */
        $formats_allowed = array("json", "xml", "raw");

        /* IP location query url */
        $query_url = "http://iplocationtools.com/ip_query.php?ip=";

        /* Male sure that the format is one of json, xml, raw.
           Or else default to xml */
        if(!in_array($format, $formats_allowed)) {
            $format = "xml";
        }

        $query_url = $query_url . "{$ip}&output={$format}";

        /* Init CURL and its options*/
        $ch = curl_init();
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $query_url);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 15);

        /* Execute CURL and get the response */
        $response = curl_exec($ch);

        if ( $format == 'xml' ) {
             $xmlObj = simplexml_load_string($response);
             return $xmlObj->CountryName;
        } 
    }


    $location_data = get_ip_location("70.112.156.140");

    //here you could use a regular expression or something along those lines to extract the information that is between "<CountryName>" and "</CountryName>" (I'll let you figure that one out on your own or see if someone else here can do it for you.

//from there just use your previous code to check and see if the country name matches your if statements

?>

 

Hope this will help.

well the function just returns all the strings from the site i just want it to return the country

[Maq]

well the function just returns all the strings from the site i just want it to return the country

 

Just use a simpleXML object to grab whatever is between the country elements.

[anupamsaha]

well the function just returns all the strings from the site i just want it to return the country

 

Try the new extended function as below:

 

<?php

   /**
    * Geolocation API access
    *
    * @param    string  $ip         IP address to query
    * @param    string  $format     output format of response
    *
    * @return   string  XML, JSON or CSV string
    */
    function get_ip_location($ip, $format="xml") {

        /* Set allowed output formats */
        $formats_allowed = array("json", "xml", "raw");

        /* IP location query url */
        $query_url = "http://iplocationtools.com/ip_query.php?ip=";

        /* Male sure that the format is one of json, xml, raw.
           Or else default to xml */
        if(!in_array($format, $formats_allowed)) {
            $format = "xml";
        }

        $query_url = $query_url . "{$ip}&output={$format}";

        /* Init CURL and its options*/
        $ch = curl_init();
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $query_url);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 15);

        /* Execute CURL and get the response */
        $response = curl_exec($ch);
        
        /* Get CountryName */
        if ( $format == 'xml' ) {
             $xmlObj = simplexml_load_string($response);
             return $xmlObj->CountryName;
        } 
    }


    $location_data = get_ip_location("70.112.156.140");
    
    echo $location_data;

?>

ok i think i got it do i just do

 

if($xmlObj->Countryname=="United States) {}

 

to compare

 

 

Edit:nope how do i compare the country from the IP?

It will be more easier to compare with the country code rather than country name:

 

if ( $xmlObj->CountryCode == 'US' ) {
   // DO YOUR STAFF HERE
}

 

Will it help?

 

[darkfreaks]

now it is returning "this is not a united states IP adress" even though i am in the united states dunno where it is going wrong

Little BUG fixed in your code. Use this code snippet and test.

    function get_ip_location($ip, $format="xml") {

        $formats_allowed = array("json", "xml", "raw");

        /* IP location query url */
        $query_url = "http://iplocationtools.com/ip_query.php?ip=";

        /* Male sure that the format is one of json, xml, raw.
           Or else default to xml */
        if(!in_array($format, $formats_allowed)) {
            $format = "xml";
        }

        $query_url = $query_url . "{$ip}&output={$format}";

        /* Init CURL and its options*/
        $ch = curl_init();
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $query_url);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 15);

        /* Execute CURL and get the response */
        //return curl_exec($ch);

        $response = curl_exec($ch);

    if ( $format == 'xml' ) {
             $xmlObj = simplexml_load_string($response);
             return $xmlObj->CountryCode;
        } 
    }
