How to format webpage by geo location?

[FeeSupergeek]

I've been told that I can make which page shows based on IP address and have seen examples, but never seen any corresponding code. (The company is a franchise and they want the website to show the correct state franchises they are viewed in)

Has anyone done this before?

You need a subscription for geolocation database or Web API.

Then use submit your user's IP address, they return the info to you usually including country, state, long/lat, area code, etc.

Here's an example that no longer works:

If you google: PHP Geolocation, you'll get some hits.

i think each country have fixed ip addresses range which u can easly test using if.

then u can include content according to ip address u got..

if($_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"] == " /* COUNTRY IP */")
{
include("specific_content.php"):
}

u can get that fixed ip addresses using lovely GOOGLE =)


hope that helps.
