PHP client location based page loading
Hi,

I am new to PHP and at first got a task where I need some clues and help.
So I am here.. The server is build to provide customized access for modules
as per location. If client location is US then it shows modules and pages
specific to US and if location is UK then it shows UK specific things.

My task is to switch a default unique location for administration access in server.

For example
If client is browsing from UK or Austria or France or from anywhere the server should provide
pages specific to US.

The location is determined by IP address. I found something $__SERVER{'REMOTE_ADDRESS'}
can I set this to the IP address specific to USA? Please give me some ideas & links.

Thanks...

You can use geoip....

Check out the geoip apis for PHP here:
Quote:
There are three methods of querying the GeoIP databases from PHP. The easiest to setup is the Pure PHP API. The setup for the high performance PHP extension and mod_geoip APIs is more advanced.

Pure PHP module

Download pure PHP module. Free GeoLite Country and GeoLite City databases are available.

A port to PHP5 of the PHP API is available from PEAR.

The Pure PHP API is cross-platform, works on Windows as well as Linux, and does not require Apache, nor does it require the C API.

PHP Extension on PECL

Download a PHP extension that allows you to embed the GeoIP C Library inside PHP for improved performance. There is a new fork with a more complete implementation.

Using mod_geoip with PHP

For improved performance, you can access the mod_geoip from PHP. There is a trade-off between performance and ease of installation - the Apache module is faster (benchmark), but the pure PHP module is much easier to install.
