The geoip_region_by_name() function will return the country and region corresponding to a hostname or an IP address.
This function is currently only available to users who have bought a commercial GeoIP Region 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:
- "country_code" -- Two letter country code (see geoip_country_code_by_name())
- "region" -- The region code (ex: CA for California)
The hostname or IP address whose region is to be looked-up.
Returns the associative array on success, or FALSE
if the address cannot be found in the database.
This will print the array containing the country code and region of the host example.com.
<?php $region = geoip_region_by_name('www.example.com'); if ($region) { print_r($region); } ?>
The above example will output:
Array ( [country_code] => US [region] => CA )
