Geo IP Location help needed...

newbie question! Hi all, So, I had - Geo IP Location - installed for me on my VPS server by a network tech http://us3.php.net/manual/en/book.geoip.php then I used: geoip_country_name_by_name(xxx) to display the country by name basically works ok - however a few people say that my page: 1- will display their remote ip with $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; 2- ! but for some - the country name is blank.... ! (defeats the whole purpose) - I am not sure how: Geo IP Location actually works... Q: Am I correct in assuming that when a country name does NOT show - is it because that particular IP is NOT seen by Geo IP Location? We just installed the latest version (I think) yesterday.... Is it reading from some old outdated database - or ???? Q: Is there some code that can ALWAYS tell the country name of the IP? -- Thanks, Dave - DealTek dealtek@gmail.com [db-11]
