Something like in my sig? Or do you mean from a list of IP addresses? I can help you.

How fast is this? I mean if you put it in your index file and it have to look through a giant database of IP's wouldn't you see a slowdown?

Many factors. For a low traffic site with few visitors, not noticable.. If you have a high traffic virtual account, it'll be slow.

It all has to do with what you've got and how you tweak it.

We've been using the database from http://www.ip2country.com

They release updates to the database quarterly, and it's pretty cheap.

As for speed, no it's not slow. You're not scanning through the database, you use the IP address you wish to look up (the first three octects/class C) to generate the offset into the file.

Ie, you fopen the file, then fseek to the byte location determined by:

where IP is A.B.C.D

offset = (a*(256^2)+b*256+c)*2

the final *2 is because the dataset is two characters, the ISO country code (US, UK, DE, etc)

hey Anthony, what's your ICQ? Always good to know more people who know everything. 1240050
