   1 Requirements
   2
   3 None (only the 'GeoIP.dat' file is needed).  To download a free GeoIP Standard Country
   4 database, go to
   5 http://maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/
   6
   7 Install
   8
   9 Just place the 'geoip.inc' file somewhere according to the 'include_path' directive of
  10 your 'php.ini' file, or just place it in the same directory as your PHP scripts.
  11
  12 Usage
  13
  14 Gets country name by hostname :
  15
  16 include("geoip.inc");
  17
  18 $gi = geoip_open("/usr/local/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat",GEOIP_STANDARD);
  19
  20 echo geoip_country_code_by_addr($gi, "24.24.24.24") . "\t" .
  21      geoip_country_name_by_addr($gi, "24.24.24.24") . "\n";
  22 echo geoip_country_code_by_addr($gi, "80.24.24.24") . "\t" .
  23      geoip_country_name_by_addr($gi, "80.24.24.24") . "\n";
  24
  25 geoip_close($gi);
  26
  27 Memory Caching:
  28 To enable memory caching, pass GEOIP_SHARED_MEMORY or
  29 GEOIP_MEMORY_CACHE to the second argument of geoip_open
  30
  31 For GEOIP_SHARED_MEMORY, requires php >= 4.0.4,
  32 and --enable-shmop passed at configure time, see
  33 http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.shmop.php
  34 In addition, you should call geoip_load_shared_mem
  35 before calling geoip_open.  See sample_city.php for an
  36 example of shared memory caching.

  38 Working with PHP5.
  39 geoip_country_code_by_addr should work
  40 with PHP.  For help with the other
  41 routines, please contact support@maxmind.com
