Geo/IP redirect 1

[biobrain]

How I can write a geo/ip redirect php script? can any body hel me in this regards

Do you want to pick up the IP and if it's located , say in england you want to redirect to site.co.uk, or if it's in Japan site.co.jp ??
If so do a google for the base data (the php site used to have a link to the service they use)

http://locateip.co.uk/

looks interesting.
It's then just a matter of gettingthe data into a database, pick up the IP address and do a look up, then accroding to whatthe data says issue a header(location:

http://www.site.co.uk);

and off you go.

Yes

I want to show different sites to people coming from different IP locations.

i.e different site/contents for users coming from Pakistan, UK, USA and Germany etc.

Well how to write a scripts for the same.

You would open a text editor (or whatever php writing tool you use) and write the script.

Or did you mistake these "Intelligent Work Forums for Computer Professionals" with "A place where somebody will write the code for me for free"?

Dear All,

I am not saying any body to write the full script for me. Well I know that I can use notepad, kwrite, vi, etc for writing a php script.

I just want a start how to use IP redirection in PHP. I am new to PHP .

Otherwise please tell me some books/chapter to read for this.

Regards

Let me point you to the php online manual entry for header(Location):

http://php.net/manual/en/function.header.php

This will redirect the browser to which ever URL you pass it.

And the $_SERVER superglobal from which you can extract the IP address of the user browsing the page.

http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php#reserved.variables.server

That should at least give you a start.
