The geoip_record_by_name() function will return the record information corresponding to a hostname or an IP address.
This function is available for both GeoLite City Edition and commercial GeoIP City Edition. A warning will be issued if the proper database cannot be located.
The names of the different keys of the returning associative array are as follows:
- "continent_code" -- Two letter continent code (as of version 1.0.4 with libgeoip 1.4.3 or newer)
- "country_code" -- Two letter country code (see geoip_country_code_by_name())
- "country_code3" -- Three letter country code (see geoip_country_code3_by_name())
- "country_name" -- The country name (see geoip_country_name_by_name())
- "region" -- The region code (ex: CA for California)
- "city" -- The city.
- "postal_code" -- The Postal Code, FSA or Zip Code.
- "latitude" -- The Latitude as signed double.
- "longitude" -- The Longitude as signed double.
- "dma_code" -- Designated Market Area code (USA and Canada only)
- "area_code" -- The PSTN area code (ex: 212)
The hostname or IP address whose record is to be looked-up.
Returns the associative array on success, or FALSE
if the address cannot be found in the database.
Adding the continent_code with GeoIP Library 1.4.3 or newer only
Adding country_code3 and country_name
This will print the array containing the record of host example.com.
<?php $record = geoip_record_by_name('www.example.com'); if ($record) { print_r($record); } ?>
The above example will output:
Array ( [continent_code] => NA [country_code] => US [country_code3] => USA [country_name] => United States [region] => CA [city] => Marina Del Rey [postal_code] => [latitude] => 33.9776992798 [longitude] => -118.435096741 [dma_code] => 803 [area_code] => 310 )
