Install geoip on xampp
Geocoding (finding latitude/longitude for street addresses), Geotagging (tagging media with latitude/longitude coordinates), and Geolocation (finding latitude/longitude of computer with IP X-Forwarded-For). There are some options to install on linux environment:
# wget http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCity.dat.gz
# gunzip GeoLiteCity.dat.gz
# sudo mkdir -v /usr/share/GeoIP
# sudo mv -v GeoLiteCity.dat /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIPCity.dat
Install geoip with php5
# sudo apt-get install php5-geoip (ubuntu)
# sudo yum install php5-geoip (centOS)
# sudo pecl install geoip (with PECL)
In Windows environment we have to add extension “php_geoip.dll” with PHP
Download extension from here : http://blog.svnlabs.com/php-5.2.1_geoip-w32.zip
Copy “php_geoip.dll” to xampp “php/ext” .. add a line in php.ini
“extension=php_geoip.dll” and restart xampp
This extension will work on development system using Windows, Apache 2.2.3 and PHP 5.2.10. check “geoip” with phpinfo() module is loaded.
We can
<?php
$record = geoip_record_by_name('www.svnlabs.com');
if ($record) {
print_r($record);
}
?>
Array
(
[country_code] => US
[region] => CA
[city] => Marina...
[postal_code] =>
[latitude] => 23.9776792798
[longitude] => -128.435796741
[dma_code] => 867
[area_code] => 400
)
<?php
$result = geoip_record_by_name('78.aaa.yyy.xxx');
var_dump($result);
?>
There is alternative PHP version of the GeoIP API from MaxMind,
but this solution is quite slow on servers. MaxMind uses MaxMind database to display geo locations.
