I often see people asking for an easy free solution so here goes
p.s. because its free its not perfect but it also is alot less tasking on your server than most free methods

exampe usage of below code
http://ytmnd.webspacemania.com/freegeo/

Code:


<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>


Hi, I'm Brooke i live in 






<?php
// ip to html by stb
$addr = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");
$url = "http://api.hostip.info/get_html.php?ip=$addr&position=true";
$html = file_get_contents($url);
$trip = explode('Latitude:',$html);
$ctcn = $trip[0];
$trip = explode('City: ',$ctcn);
$ctcn = trim($trip[1]);
echo $ctcn;
?>

Hey - its better than the one in your sig!

but I did go to the site and update the record for my IP

Everyone should do that - it might make it worth using on bigger projects.

If it doesn't get yours right click here www.hostip.info and you can change it for them.

phasic · 10-29-2006, 01:52 AM

Thanks smokey, answered my ? directly. Although its extremely faulty. How many people got it right on the first visit with out correcting? I guess if its the only free method thats my only choice though, eh?

Most of the GeoIP stuff out there is less than accurate. I think this is something that will certainly take time to iron out. ISPs pop up switch around so much these days, it seems like it would be a nightmarish database to maintain.

Thanks for the info smokey, I've worked on a couple solutions myself, but yours seems the easiest. I worked with the free version of GeoIPmax and the database version is horrible (took me forever to figure out a good index, and even then it was slow) and the binary version is decent. But I think the one smokey posted above the simplest for our end.

BTW Smokey, would you be willing to verify some code (my zango removal tool (link to thread)) and post the results?

pornpf69 · 10-29-2006, 06:40 AM

I have their "script" and their free DB on my server

theres a few other free services available , they require a bit more work though , i figured i would post the "easy smeazie" way..

The thing with most geo-ip services is the database is a few mb's so everytime someone hits your script your server has to look thru the db file.. this method is less taxing on your server

Not really - I'm using geoip perl and benchmarking apache with 500k hits on the perl script (lookup on a 25MB city binary database binary) didn't really tax the server at all....

if people like, I'll open it up to all - it's geolite, so it's not 100%.

Hey, if enough people are willing to subscribe at, say $1/10k lookups, I'll get the main, pretty darn accurate maxmind city database...

(Unknow City) ... that's farrrrrrrrrr from here :P

jesse_adultdatingdollars · 10-29-2006, 09:43 AM

Works for me in San Diego

interracialtoons · 10-29-2006, 10:18 AM

Works for me!

quantum-x · 10-29-2006, 10:44 AM

Or even easier:

PHP Code:


			
preg_match_all('`^[^:]+: (.+)$`misU',file_get_contents('http://api.hostip.info/get_html.php?ip='.$SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'].'&position=true'),$matches);



echo $matches[1][0]."<br />";

echo $matches[1][1]."<br />";;

Outputs

borked · 10-29-2006, 02:51 PM

if people are not getting accurate results from hostip.info, the following should be better:

http://geo.corecoder.com/

to test your own ip, or

http://geo.corecoder.com/?ip=xx.xx.xx.xx

to test a specific one.

If you want all data, not just the city, it can be found here:

http://geo.corecoder.com/full?ip=xx.xx.xx.xx
