User Details?

[Gene]

I found this neat little app that retreives and displays some of the visitors details, such as:
TOWN
COUNTRY
IP ADDRESS
SERVICE PROVIDER

Here is a sample: http://gap24.com

This particular script is a service provided through a third party, per the link you'll see under the details.

I'd like to be able to retreive this same data directly, so I don't have to rely on the third party server and won't have to have a link to their site. Does anyone know of a script that will pull this data? I know they're out there... Thanks.

I use phpLocation to display the location of a visitor in an iframe.
http://www.phplocation.com/ip-country/more_information.php?product_id=18,

For the IP address, I use a simple SSI environmental variable.

<!--#echo var="REMOTE_ADDR" -->

Hostname

<!--#echo var="REMOTE_HOST" -->

I have not been able to find a good, free script that allows you to pinpoint the town of the visitor. The quality ones I found cost a few $$$.

Hope that helps!

have a look at this: http://ip-to-country.webhosting.info/
it's fabulous.
for getting the service provider, there are certain databases available that map a range of IPs to service providers. same for towns and cities.

PHP has some pretty good built-in services for determining ip: just use

$_SERVER["remote_addr"]

to get the IP, then use ip-to-country (you can find it on sourceforge - it's free) and it will give you city, country and I believe web provider as well.
