RE: phpweb /include langchooser.inc

Hi, I have checked up with the rest of the team about our offer of the geoip database. We are more than happy to open up this db completely for an open source project such as php. We can directly provide PHP the database and its updates on a regular basis. You are free to use this however you want. You do not need to put in any restrictions for the official or unofficial mirror sites or anything like that. You would however need to write code to access this database. We will be providing the database in a pure text CSV format. You can convert this into any format that you are comfortable with i.e insert this into a mysql / pgsql database or convert this into dbm / cdb format for faster access etc. We have already written some sample code to access the database which can be used as reference. Do let me know your thoughts on the same.
