(Since some people asked):

IP is just like an internet address, so it depends on the country, the start value will be different for each country, I remember seen this somewhere, and the IP number is a geolical global position... below is a php script that does this:

<?php 
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];//gets user's ip address
$explode = explode(".", $ip);
$ipno = ($explode[0] * 16777216) + ($explode[1] * 65536) + ($explode[2] * 256) + $explode[3];
//up to here, the script converts the IP address to an ip number
$txtfile = file("ipcountries.txt");//get the information from the long ip to country text file
foreach ($txtfile as $line) 
{$explodetxt = explode(",", $line);
$fip = $explodetxt[0];
$sip = $explodetxt[1];
$country = $explodetxt[2];
$country = str_replace("\r\n","",$country);
$country = str_replace(" ","",$country);
if ($ipno > $fip && $ipno < $sip) {$located = $country;}}//sorts out your ip range, and thus find out the range of your country's ip position, giving the result as country.

$countries = file("countries.txt");//get the country text file, and convert it to country name.
foreach ($countries as $ccountry) {$parts = explode(",", $ccountry);
$part1 = str_replace("\r\n","",$parts[1]);
if ($located == $part1) {
echo "You are living in ".$parts[0]."! And your ip adress is $ip!";}}
?>

This is basically the php script, because the actual hard work is the ipcountry.txt file, which is a database storing up to ten thousands of information, therefore, instead of the country name itself, I converted to country symbol which not just make it easier to look, organized, as well as saving the time and space when uploading.

However, what i believe is that the ip will change, and my guess is that the number will always increase, so these database will need to be updated once some time.

The countries txt file which includes the country name and short abbreviation is attached, but the ipcountries.txt is to large to attach, so download it at:

feel free to use this on your website.

If you are looking for a really efficient way to do IP->Country lookups then check out the source code in the Firestats PHP visitor tracker. They have implemented a binary search in PHP and it is very fast and has less overhead than text searching.

[ted_chou12]

cool , do you have a link for it?

Thanks

Ted

[ShogunWarrior]

Yeah - http://firestats.cc

 

Download it and in the php/ip2c directory you will find the IP2C class, the binary database and some test files.
