echo results in link?

[techker]

Hey guys i want to do a geobanner that gets the client ip and echo's the location..

 

i got a API key and and link..

 

but to echo the perfect ip

echo ''; 
if ( isset($_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]) )    { 
    echo '' . $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"] . ' '; 
} else if ( isset($_SERVER["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"]) )    { 
    echo '' . $_SERVER["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"] . ' '; 
} else if ( isset($_SERVER["HTTP_CLIENT_IP"]) )    { 
    echo '' . $_SERVER["HTTP_CLIENT_IP"] . ''; 

 

and the api link is

http://api.geoio.com/q.php?key=MYKEY=json&q=HERE I NEED THE IP

 

could it echo the results of the link instead of clicking the link?

Is the data formatted in a special way (JSON, XML, etc) or is it just plain text?

i got it going with a more simpler code

 

http://api.geoio.com/q.php?key=mykey=geoip&d=json&q=<? echo getenv('REMOTE_ADDR'); ?>

 

but i don't now how to execute that link and show the results on the same page>?

You didn't answer my question.

 

EDIT: I see "json" in the URL so I'm guessing that's what you get back.

 

Therefore, you can use file_get_contents to get the contents of the page (presumably a JSON string) which you can then work with. If it is a JSON string, you can use json_decode to turn it into an object.
