Re: question about ip addresses

While this really has no place on the PHP-DB list, I'll respond any way. IP v4 (that which is currently deployed) has geographic considerations, all of which heavily favour the US. The EU is pushing heavily for the deployment of IP v6 for this very reason. A brief overview of IP structure can be found at the link below, or with a simple visit to Google. http://www.caida.org/outreach/resources/learn/ipv4space/ Edward Dudlik Becoming Digital www.becomingdigital.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jake Malone" <jake@therussianjudge.com> To: <php-db@lists.php.net> Sent: Wednesday, 23 April 2003 12:25 Subject: [PHP-DB] question about ip addresses i've seen sites that can tell you the geographical location of virtually any given ip address. i was wondering, is there some formula for figuring this out? maybe something that could be implemented with php? -jake -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
