FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package geoip2-helpers
Geo Location Helper/Middleware for Zend Framework/Expressive Projects
About
This lib is useful if you are only interested in using MaxMind’s GeoLite2 databases to figure out the country of origin and maybe a bit more detail such as city (slower) based on the IP address of the visitor inside a Zend Expressive or PSR-15 app, or a Zend Framework 3 based app. Factories and default configuration are setup out of the box for both Expressive and ZF3.
Retrieving location data for an IP address relies on the ability to figure out the remote address of the client, so this lib has a dependency on netglue/realip-helpers. This is only used by the middleware.
Install
Install with composer using "netglue/geoip2-helpers"
Zend’s component installer
Get a copy of the database
This package comes with a utility for downloading the free, GeoLite2 databases. If you are using a paid version, you’ll
probably be downloading the databases into a central location, so MaxMind’s geoipupdate will likely be a better tool
for you: https://github.com/maxmind/geoipupdate.
Using the shipped downloader tool
After installing with composer, the command will be made available in vendor/bin/geoip. You can get help for the
command with geoip help geoip:download.
With no arguments, the command will download both the city and country databases into the ./data directory of this lib.
To download to a different directory, you should provide a directory argument, i.e geoip geoip:download ~/geoip-data/here.
Files will be named whatever they are on the remote server, something like GeoLite2-City.mmdb.
If you are only interested in Country level information, you can turn off downloading the city database with the --country
switch and vice-versa with --city. By default, both databases will be retrieved.
The --no-clobber switch will only perform a download if the files do not already exist so it can be used during deployment
for example to avoid repeatedly downloading stuff you don't need.
ZF3 Controller Plugin
In a ZF3 app, the default config exposes a plugin with the name geoIp. Using this plugin is pretty straight forward:
PSR-15 Middleware
Add \NetglueGeoIP\Middleware\Geolocation::class to your pipeline, after a middleware that will inject a request attribute
of ip_address (By default, can be configured in construct) containing the client IP.
Subsequent middleware will have access to the attributes:
Geolocation::DATA- An array containing everything that was found in the database (If anything)Geolocation::COUNTRY_CODE- 2 letter ISO country codeGeolocation::COUNTRY_NAME- Country name according to configured localesGeolocation::TIMEZONE- Timezone, if available - depends on using the city based database.
Alternative stuff to look at
This lib might be too narrow or specific so you might find that Geocoder PHP is a more mature, better fit for your needs. There's PSR-15 middleware out there that consumes this lib: middlewares/geolocation
Test
cd to wherever the module is installed, issue a composer install followed by a composer test.
