WEBSITE DEVELOPER FROM NEPAL

Hi Guys,

I recently came up with the requirement of extracting user's IP address and display website's content accordingly for www.dezshira.com . After some explore I found Free ip2country (ip to country) PHP class provides IP database and PHP code to use on your project. But my problem was to make it's successful use on my current MVC platform - codeIgnitor.

Below are couple of quit steps I took to use this fantastic database on my codeIgnitor website , hope this helps somebody :

Step 1:

Download the csv file and import it in a mysql table , in my case I have used the tablename as ip2c.
Importing is quit straight forward , let me know if you don't know how to do this.

Step 2:

Create your helper class and save it on your helper directory :

code ( filename : ip2c_helper.php):


function get_browser_country()
{
$v='';
$v= (!empty($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']))?$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] :((!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'])) ? $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']: @getenv('REMOTE_ADDR'));
if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP']))
$v=$_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'];
$ip = htmlspecialchars($v,ENT_QUOTES);

$row=@mysql_fetch_assoc($r);
$country_name=$row['country_name'];
$country_code=$row['country_code'];
return $row['country_code'];
}


Step 3:

Now you are ready to use it on your respective controller.


$this->load->helper("ip2c");
$this->site->user_country=get_browser_country();


Autoload the helper , if you are using these functions more frequently.
