geoip_region_name_by_code - Returns the region name for some country and region code combo

SYNOPSIS
       string geoip_region_name_by_code (string  $country_code, string	$region_code)

DESCRIPTION
	The geoip_region_name_by_code(3) function will return the region name corresponding to a country and region code combo.

	In  the United States, the region code corresponds to the two-letter abbreviation of each state. In Canada, the region code corresponds to
       the two-letter province or territory code as attributed by Canada Post.

	For the rest of the world, GeoIP uses FIPS 10-4 codes to represent  regions.  You  can	check  http://www.maxmind.com/app/fips10_4  for  a
       detailed list of FIPS 10-4 codes.

	This function is always available if using GeoIP Library version 1.4.1 or newer. The data is taken directly from the GeoIP Library and not
       from any database.

	      o $country_code
		- The two-letter country code (see geoip_country_code_by_name(3))

	      o $region_code
		- The two-letter (or digit) region code (see geoip_region_by_name(3))

RETURN VALUES
