XLVIII. GeoIP Functions

Introduction

The GeoIP extension allows you to find the location of an IP address. City, State, Country, Longitude, Latitude, and other information as all, such as ISP and connection type can be obtained with the help of GeoIP.

Requirements

This extension requires the GeoIP C library version 1.4.0 or higher to be installed. You can grab the latest version from http://www.maxmind.com/app/c and compile it yourself.

By default, you will only have access to the Free GeoIP Country or GeoLite City databases. While this module can work with other types of database, you must buy a commercial license from Maxmind.
