Country Detection via IP using PHP

or you can just download a text file to work with

It would seem that [php.net...] is now using Country Detection.

The PHP.net site and mirror sites now autodetect your country using the Directi Ip-to-Country [ip-to-country.com] Database.

Since this is something we have talked about a few times I figured I would poke around. The above linked site has php tools and downloadable text file for ranges.

Looks like a simple way to get it on a site if you so desire.

I use IP2Location. I think a very similar thing. They give you an access database, csv file, or mysql dump.

Simple selects to get the country. Works very nice.
