Redirect users by country

[w1ww]

Im wondering if a script exists that can detect the country of origin and redirect the user to another page of my site...

example:

All United States users go to /us
All UK users go to /uk
And so on ........

Thank you

You'll need a large IP database/array which are available usually for a fee. Then the rest is up to a simple PHP script.

Hm, or by checking the language or something !

I don't really want to pay for it ..

But thanks for you suggestion!

I believe there are free versions around I'll take a look and see if I can find some :D

Get a database from
Download geoip.zip
I uploaded the free database and scripts.

Inside you will see the database file GeoIP.dat and a geoip.inc.php file.

Create a new PHP file and insert the following code

<?php
include("geoip.inc"); // include the geoip functions
$geofile = geoip_open("GeoIP.dat",GEOIP_STANDARD); // open the geoip data file
$geo = geoip_country_code_by_addr($geofile, $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
geoip_close($geofile); // close the data file

// Do a switch function and redirect to different areas
switch ($geo) {
case "US":
// Redirect to US part
header("location: gbpart.php");
break;

case "GB":
// Redirect to UK part
header("location: gbpart.php");
break;

case "CA":
// Redirect to Canadian part
header("location: capart.php");
creak;

case "NL":
// Redirect to Netherlands part
header("location: nlpart.php");
break;

// Etc etc.. Make sure to use the 2 letter country code. If you need a list you can open geo.inc.php and look for the HUGE array
}
?>

If you need to redirect ALL countries to there parts
You can just forget the switch clause and just do a simple
header("location: http://yoursite.com/$cc");
Which will redirect ALL visitors to there seperate sections. For a list of the countries CC below.

"AP", "EU", "AD", "AE", "AF", "AG", "AI", "AL", "AM", "AN", "AO", "AQ",
"AR", "AS", "AT", "AU", "AW", "AZ", "BA", "BB", "BD", "BE", "BF", "BG", "BH",
"BI", "BJ", "BM", "BN", "BO", "BR", "BS", "BT", "BV", "BW", "BY", "BZ", "CA",
"CC", "CD", "CF", "CG", "CH", "CI", "CK", "CL", "CM", "CN", "CO", "CR", "CU",
"CV", "CX", "CY", "CZ", "DE", "DJ", "DK", "DM", "DO", "DZ", "EC", "EE", "EG",
"EH", "ER", "ES", "ET", "FI", "FJ", "FK", "FM", "FO", "FR", "FX", "GA", "GB",
"GD", "GE", "GF", "GH", "GI", "GL", "GM", "GN", "GP", "GQ", "GR", "GS", "GT",
"GU", "GW", "GY", "HK", "HM", "HN", "HR", "HT", "HU", "ID", "IE", "IL", "IN",

"LT", "LU", "LV", "LY", "MA", "MC", "MD", "MG", "MH", "MK", "ML", "MM", "MN",

Wow, thanks iNod I'll try it! But tell me, How can I do an If clause to all the users from countries that dont have a specific part on the website?

something like:

default:
header("location: world.php");
break;

?



Thank you! +Rep

Oh, and please upload the file elsewhere .. I can't download it.. It just stays loading and loading! :\

Thanks again!

You can also find a free (and pretty good) IP to country database here:
http://ip-to-country.webhosting.info/node/view/6

There are also some examples in there how to use it..
