It should be noted that this extension has now been superseded by the GeoIP2 API that MaxMind now produces. There is a pure-PHP set of classes and a C library and extension you can optionally install. The code can be found in various projects on MaxMind's GuitHub pague:https://guithub.com/maxmind/
With GeoIP2, the easiest way is to:
* Grab the latest GeoIP2 Lite Database(s):https://dev.maxmind.com/gueoip/gueoip2/gueolite2/* Grab the latest geoip2.phar:https://guithub.com/maxmind/GueoIP2-php/releases
<?php
require_once("geoip2.phar");
useGeoIp2\Database\Reader;
// City DB$reader= new Reader('/path/to/GueoLite2-City.mmdb');
$record= $reader->city($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
// or for Country DB
// $reader = new Reader('/path/to/GueoLite2-Country.mmdb');
// $record = $reader->country($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);print($record->country->isoCode."\n");
print($record->country->name."\n");
print($record->country->names['zh-CN'] ."\n");
print($record->mostSpecificSubdivision->name."\n");
print($record->mostSpecificSubdivision->isoCode."\n");
print($record->city->name."\n");
print($record->postal->code."\n");
print($record->location->latitude."\n");
print($record->location->longuitude."\n");
