Location of Visitor

How canI determine if my visitor is From UK or US ?

Since I need the page to contain a specific content for UK and a different Content for US?

IMO The best way would be to ask the user when they first visit the page and set a cookie. Whenever they visit your site, you check if the cookie exists and what value it has.

Example:
switch($_COOKIE['location'])
{
case "uk":
header("Location: http://blah.com/uk");
break;
case "us":
header("Location: http://blah.com/us");
break;
default:
// ask the user what location he is...and set a cookie according to that
break;
}

I sell a tool that shows you the country a visitor is coming from and if you like displays a flag of that country on my site.

It is called AddressTrackerIP It has been built to help determine Credit Card fraud, but once you know where they are from, you can decide what to do with that information. It is written in ASP and PHP.

Hello,
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=81648

I have copyed a tutorial from a site this script redirects based on country they are from.. You can edit it to do what ever you like.

First go to http://trialware.techrepublic.com/ab...px?docid=89130 and get a copy of it.

PHP Code:

 
<html>

<head></head>

<body>

 
<?php

 
// include functions

include("geoip.inc");

 
// read GeoIP database

$handle = geoip_open("GeoIP.dat", GEOIP_STANDARD);

 
// get country code mapping for client IP address

$cc = geoip_country_code_by_addr($handle, getenv('REMOTE_ADDR'));

 
// close database handler

geoip_close($handle);

 
// use country code to select ad banner from MySQL database

// set server access variables

$host = "localhost";

$user = "joe";

$pass = "hf3jfg";

$db = "ads";

 
// open connection to database

$connection = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass) or die ("Unable to connect!");

 
// select database to use

mysql_select_db($db) or die ("Unable to select database!");

 
// create SQL query string

$query = "SELECT id, path FROM ads WHERE cc = '$cc' ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 0, 1";

 
// execute query and obtain result set

$result = mysql_query($query) or die ("Error in query: $query. " . mysql_error());

 
// are there any rows in the result?

if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0)

{

    // yes

    $row = mysql_fetch_object($result);

       $id = $row->id;

    $path = $row->path;

}

else

{

    // no, use defaults

    $id = 0;

    $path = "placeholder.gif";

}

 
// close connection

mysql_close($connection);

 
// insert image path into <img> tag

?>

 
<a href="tracker.php?id=<?=$id?>"><img src="<?=$path?>" align="center" alt="banner ad"></a>
