What am I doing wrong? bye Ronald
 
Use double quotes to get the value of $a or else you get the literal string "$a". $aa=system("lynx -dump http://api.hostip.info/country.php?ip=$a",$location); or $aa=system('lynx -dump http://api.hostip.info/country.php?ip='.$a,$location); Thanks! 1st solution did not work for me, but the second one did.

I still have a problem with it. It prints the info to the page. Can I suppress this somehow? bye Ronald
