Thanks for the info, Eric! You made it really easy for a PHP newb like me to follow.

For those who aren’t very skilled with using SSH, this came in really handy for me – http://nevcal.com/eclectic/bluessh/bluehost-ssh.html

It’s specific to bluehost, but i’m sure can apply to any other hosting service as well.

This is a great script! I am trying to use it to dynamically change the background and header on my website to match the time of day and weather of the user viewing it. To do this, I’m using XML data called from a weather API such as Yahoo, WeatherBug, or NOAA. However, no services let you call the data by the latitude and longitude. When I test your script, it does not throw back the zip code. It does work and it tells my correct location, but it is just blank for the zip. I need the zip codes to call the weather data! How did you get the zip code database to work? Is it included with the main database? Thanks for any help!

CashTactics, your javascript works fine! In fact i had been looking for that kind of thing for ages. The method talked about in the post is probably easy too, but
I didn’t understand a thing. Copy&paste is all my lazy brain can do.

@Eric:
Ok, I see. But if you use Apache Module (mod_geoip), you can do :

apache_note(‘GEOIP_CONTINENT_CODE’)

I was hoping there was such a method like $rsGeoData->continent_code …

@Stephane: - you'll need an associative array and this data. So you'll have: $rsContinents['US'] = 'NA'; $rsContinents['TN'] = 'AF'; Then you'll know that if I'm in the US, I'm in NA (North America) and if I'm in TN (Tunisia) I'm in AF (Africa)
