IP Location with PHP

[Jordan]

Very cool and useful tutorial! Nice work Jaan. This would be handy in many situations. If you wanted to restrict ads by location or allow (or block) a country, etc.

+rep!

[Jaan]

yup yup mate.. I'm using this kind of technique in AdStar also.. but little bit.. well much complicated script but yes it's useful.. then you know who visits your site.. and things

thanks mate

Yes I could see this being helpful with stats and ad management.

What kind of program are you making?

You can also use the PEAR package to determine location: Net_GeoIP OR Net_Geo

I just came across these in the PEAR db.

Very cool! This is great, I can use this in my project and avoid having to store the countries in my database.

+rep for you!

Hello,

$select_db = mysql_select_db("ip", $con); ///////// import.php

$select_db = mysql_select_db("iploc"); ///// checkip.php

i just going to learn this script from your tutorial but i saw this ambiguous lines.
Is this a writing mistake or it meanings something else cause two different db. Anyway excuse me if i am wrong.

oh one thing why you use backtick operator in mysql query.

thank you.

Oh yes.. There was a mistake.. "iploc" is a database that is in my localhost.. I tested this script there.. and I forgot it there.. thanks for noticing
