MortimerJazz Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 This is a bit of a wierd problem, but I haven't been able to solve it so I thought I'd post it up here. Basically, I'm using the following function to access Maxmind's GEO IP database (so that I can target visitors to my site based on their location): <?php // This code demonstrates how to lookup the country by IP Address include("geoip.inc"); // Uncomment if querying against GeoIP/Lite City. // include("geoipcity.inc"); $gi = geoip_open("/home/bounce6/public_html/geoIP/GeoIP.dat",GEOIP_STANDARD); $ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; $country=geoip_country_code_by_addr($gi, "$ip"); geoip_close($gi); ?> The function is being called using this line from a separate file: include "/home/username/public_html/mydomain.com/functions/getCountry.php"; Now the code does what it's supposed to do, in as far as it's able to give me a string which details where a visitor is located. However, for some strange reason it seems to be adding a new HTML tag into my existing header tag. The code which has been inserted is as follows: <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> </head> <body> </body> </html> I've managed to isolate the problem to this script, so I know that there must be an issue with it, but I'm not quite sure what it is. Can anyone suggest why this extra source code is being produced? Is there a particular function that I'm using which is forcing additional headers or something?! Any thoughts would be really appreciated! Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/227093-problems-accessing-maxmind-database/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
