Get hold of a data source that has IP/Geo data. I don't think you can work it out from the numbers alone. --

get IP: CODE$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; |
|
Use this CODE$IP = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$SSID = htmlentities(SID);
// If IP address exists
// Get country (and City) via api.hostip.info
if (!empty($IP)) {
$country=file_get_contents('http://api.hostip.info/get_html.php?ip='.$IP);
// Reformat the data returned (Keep only country and country abbr.
list ($_country) = explode ("\n", $country);
$_country = str_replace("Country: ", "", $_country);
} Good luck! |

Don't forget that any proxy might trick the result |
|
I also forgot to mention that this is totally dependent on the target URL being up and running.
You may experience slow performance while making the inquiry.
Hope all goes well! |
