note 61723 added to reserved.variables

Man, I hate lazy programmers. Let's have no more excuses for requiring your viewers to fill in their City and Country, okay? PART ONE - The Lookup $ip = get_remote_ip(); $location = http_get( "http://api.hostip.info/?ip=$ip" ); $contents = get_tag_contents( $location, "Hostip" ); $city = trim( get_tag_contents( $contents, "gml:name" ) ); $country = trim( get_tag_contents( $contents, "countryAbbrev" ) ); if( stristr( $city, "private" ) ) { $city = ""; } if( stristr( $country, "xx" ) ) { $country = "US"; } PART TWO - The Functions function get_remote_ip() { return $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; } function http_get( $url ) { $request = fopen( $url, "rb" ); $result = ""; while( !feof( $request ) ) { $result .= fread( $request, 8192 ); } fclose( $request ); return $result; } function get_tag_contents( $xml, $tag ) { $result = ""; $s_tag = "<$tag>"; $s_offs = strpos( $xml, $s_tag ); // If we found a starting offset, then look for the end-tag. // if( $s_offs ) { $e_tag = "</$tag>"; $e_offs = strpos( $xml, $e_tag, $s_offs ); // If we have both tags, then dig out the contents. // if( $e_offs ) { $result = substr( $xml, $s_offs + strlen( $s_tag ), $e_offs - $s_offs - strlen( $e_tag ) + 1 ); } } return $result; } PART THREE - The HTML Form <input type="text" name="city" id="city" value="<? echo $city; ?>" size="40" maxlength="50" /> <option value="AU" <? if( $country == "AU" ) echo "SELECTED='true'" ?>>Australia</option> <option value="CA" <? if( $country == "CA" ) echo "SELECTED='true'" ?>>Canada</option> <option value="GB" <? if( $country == "GB" ) echo "SELECTED='true'" ?>>United Kingdom</option> <option value="US" <? if( $country == "US" ) echo "SELECTED='true'" ?>>United States</option> etc. ---- Server IP: 66.207.199.35 Probable Submitter: 209.121.101.232 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+61723 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61723&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61723&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61723&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61723&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61723&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61723&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61723&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+61723&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
