This module has no external dependencies. You only need a MaxMind GeoIP database. To download a free GeoIP Standard Country database, please see our GeoLite page.
We recommend installing this package with Composer.
To do this, add geoip/geoip
to your composer.json
file.
{
"require": {
"geoip/geoip": "~1.13"
}
}
Run in your project root:
curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php
Run in your project root:
php composer.phar install
You can autoload all dependencies by adding this to your code:
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
Place the 'geoip.inc' file in the include_path
as specified in your
php.ini
file or place it in the same directory as your PHP scripts.
Gets country name by hostname :
include("geoip.inc");
$gi = geoip_open("/usr/local/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat",GEOIP_STANDARD);
echo geoip_country_code_by_addr($gi, "24.24.24.24") . "\t" .
geoip_country_name_by_addr($gi, "24.24.24.24") . "\n";
echo geoip_country_code_by_addr($gi, "80.24.24.24") . "\t" .
geoip_country_name_by_addr($gi, "80.24.24.24") . "\n";
geoip_close($gi);
To enable memory caching, pass GEOIP_SHARED_MEMORY
or GEOIP_MEMORY_CACHE
as the second argument of geoip_open
.
GEOIP_SHARED_MEMORY
requires php >= 4.0.4 compiled with --enable-shmop
configure time. See (http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.shmop.php).
In addition, you should call geoip_load_shared_mem
before calling
geoip_open
. See sample_city.php
for an example of shared memory caching.
