PHP Based geolocation

How well does it work?

[elklabone]

I'm currently looking using a IP database to do city/state lookups...

The vendor of the database claims the following accuracy:

"The database has over 95% of accuracy in country and ISP level, 70% in region level and 65% in city level"

I understand this won't work for AOL or MSN users, but I thought maybe someone knew of a script which would give me a rough idea of where the person was located?

Thanks!

MSN users (afaik) don't have the same trouble as AOL users, as their users don't go through proxies like AOL ones.

With the ever declining market share of AOL, I would expect that any geolocation script would only get better (more accurate) over time.

Does anyone know if another solution rather than IP-City databases?
