[Solved] GeoIP2

[pajeet]

Hello, I want to use maxmind's GeoIP to get the location of the users. I have tried to follow this thread -> https://www.helionet.org/index/topic/20550-solved-geoip/

But it seems like it is outdated and they do not provide .dat databases anymore and moved to GeoIP2.

How to get it work now?

Okay, I got it to work. But with a .dat database.

First, downloaded geoip.inc & GeoIPv6.dat file from here:

https://github.com/vichan-devel/vichan/blob/master/inc/lib/geoip/geoip.inc

https://github.com/vichan-devel/vichan/blob/master/inc/lib/geoip/GeoIPv6.dat

 

Then, I wrote this code to show country names: https://pastebin.com/L4pH2w4Z
