IP LOCALIZATION

[prospect]

Hey guys ,

 

just need a little help I want to send a search string to showmyip.com and get the results back .. anyone ot similar experince?

[monk.e.boy]

Try http://uk.php.net/curl set it to return the HTML as a string.

 

Then use it to browse to http://www.site.com?query=123, then look at the HTML returned and do some regex to grab the data you want.

If it is "IP Localization":

Try searching for ranges..

Thanks guys , but don't think I explained myself good

 

I did try the IP range but thats too much and don't have that of a big database so I jsut wanted to use showmyip.com as webservice to check the ip I send and recive back the country name

 

$ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

$url='http://www.showmyip.com/?ip=';

 

Its just how to actully send it automaticlly when the user logs in the page and then direct him upon finding his country

Okai gotcha

 

<?php


$ip = addslashes($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);

// initialise the session, this time with no URL
    $ch = curl_init();
    
    // Setting the URL including the IP
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.showmyip.com/?ip=$ip");
    
    // Return the output from the cURL session rather than displaying in the browser.
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    
    //Executting  the session, returning the results to $country, and close.
    $Country = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
    print "country of $ip: $Country";

?>

 

doesn't return anything

[monk.e.boy]

Should work, maybe you have set the options in the wrong order?

 

$Country, should be $html as CURL will return the raw html of the page.

 

But other than that it should work.

 

You will need to output the HTML and take a look at it in regex buddy to see how to snip out the country code.

okai keep getting this error

 

<?php


$ip = addslashes($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);

// initialise the session, this time with no URL
    $ch = curl_init();
    
    // Setting the URL including the IP
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.showmyip.com/?ip=$ip");
    
    // Return the output from the cURL session rather than displaying in the browser.
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    
    //Executting  the session, returning the results to $country, and close.
    $html = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
    print "$html";

?>

 

 

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: curl_init() in /home/www/digitall/func_test.php on line 7

call php_info();

 

make sure you have curl library installed, if you want to use curl functions

If you don't have cURL, then use fopen( 'http://my.web.site.com/?id=99' );

hey guys cheers for all the input

 

Seems like I don't have cURL installed so I tried MB's idea using fopen

 

 

<?

$ip = addslashes($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
$data = fopen("http://www.showmyip.com/?ip=$ip", "r");
print' $data';
?>

 

that returns only $data seems nothing is caputered

but when i try

http://www.showmyip.com/?ip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

it returns all the details so the format is right

 

again thanks
