location from IP

[harshmaul]

Hi all,
Given an IP address, how can i programatically find an approximate geographical location. write now i do this manually, and would just like to automate it a bit more. I'm sure theres a webservice that can do this for me, but i can't find one.

Thanks

Everywhere i looked, i found this 'geoIP' thing.

Found one site where it's free, i think.

Uses asp though: http://www.codetoad.co m/asp_geoip.asp

let me know how you get on with that.

Hi,
Thanks... That works pretty well. I just need to convert it to PHP. when its done I'll dish it out.
