MaxMind GeoIP Legacy PHP API
End of Life
MaxMind will be retiring the GeoIP Legacy databases at the end of May
- Until then, this library will only receive critical security and bug fixes. Support for this library will end completely with the last release of the legacy GeoIP databases.
We recommend that you upgrade to our GeoIP2 databases. You can read these from PHP with our GeoIP2 PHP API.
See our blog post for more information.
Requirements
This module has no external dependencies. You only need a MaxMind GeoIP database.
Install via Composer
We recommend installing this package with Composer.
Download Composer
To download Composer, run in the root directory of your project:
You should now have the file composer.phar
in your project directory.
Install Dependencies
Run in your project root:
You should now have the files composer.json
and composer.lock
as well as
the directory vendor
in your project directory. If you use a version control
system, composer.json
should be added to it.
Require Autoloader
After installing the dependencies, you need to require the Composer autoloader from your code:
Install without Composer
Place the 'geoip.inc' file in the include_path
as specified in your
php.ini
file or place it in the same directory as your PHP scripts.
IP Geolocation Usage
IP geolocation is inherently imprecise. Locations are often near the center of the population. Any location provided by a GeoIP database should not be used to identify a particular address or household.
Usage
Gets country name by hostname :
Memory Caching
To enable memory caching, pass GEOIP_SHARED_MEMORY
or GEOIP_MEMORY_CACHE
as the second argument of geoip_open
.
GEOIP_SHARED_MEMORY
requires php >= 4.0.4 compiled with --enable-shmop
configure time. See (http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.shmop.php).
In addition, you should call geoip_load_shared_mem
before calling
geoip_open
. See sample_city.php
for an example of shared memory caching.
Requirements
This code is tested on PHP 5.4 and greater. Older versions of PHP may work.
