Hi,
I'm trying to find out what country the visitor comes from to offer them
suitable language (like google.com does) but I haven't found a method
that works 100%. What I have come up with so far is to use
$HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR
or
gethostbyaddr($REMOTE_ADDR)
Sometime I get domain which does the job (and that works) but often I
get just IP number which leaves me out in the cold. Is there any other
way to capture the visitors country?
Thanks,
SED
