Hello !

When a user signup for the newsletter in my website i get his email address and the IP address via email.

Every time a record arrives in my mail box i put the users IP address to a IP Lookup software to get his country domain extention.
This is become hard for me to do it every time i received a record.
so it is better if i can obtain the country domain extention along with the ip and email address of the subscriber.

is there a simple PHP code to do this?
do i have to write a big PHP Code to resolve IP Lookups?

Please remember that only the country name or the domain extention will be sufficient

Pls..

add a "Country" field to the sign up form
and if they give you their email is a domain extension necessary if they gave you it?

Hai. there are problems if i impliment your solution.

one they might not give the actual country extentions.
another problem is for example xxx@yahoo.co.uk are somtime not really form uk.
an indian can have that email address.

that is the mmmmm.....

But if user is connected to proxy server from other country you wouldn't know his country from IP adddress.

This is the best solution, I think.

I vote for the country field.

I understand what you are saying about collecting real info and not info people are presenting to you.

With that in mind the following script contains the PHP code you need to lookup countries from an ip address.
