RE: [PHP] IP addresses and their relationships

most whois searches will tell you who owns the IP block. but they can be totally wrong on where you live. for instance, my ISP uses the ip block 63.72.88.0 63.72.96.0 63.72.95.0 209.199.199.0 and 209.199.198.0, among others. the ISP(actually, my ISP is my telco) is based down south somewhere. but i live in northwest Illinois. the best it can really do (unless you actually own the ip block), is tell you what country and maybe what state your in. > -----Original Message----- > From: John Coggeshall [mailto:someone@internetaddress.com] > Sent: Thursday, July 13, 2000 3:55 PM > To: php3@developersdesk.com; Christopher Thompson; Pedro Fonseca; > php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: [PHP] IP addresses and their relationships > > > > Okay I'm a bit off topic... but I got into a debate with a friend of mine > and was hoping one of you kind souls in the PHP world had an > answer for me. > > Can one tell the general location of a person based solely on their IP > address?
