If you check in the php.net manual notes at the bottom of each page. You might find a prewritten locator script. I can remember seeing one there but cant find it at the moment.

I expect total acuracy is presently impossible for reasons suggested above... any location script that hones in on the IP will be finding (at best) the location of your ISP. That's a good thing, privacy wise.

I suspect a bare bones locator script would work like this....

<?php
$mgrHOST = gethostbyaddr($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
// make assesment based upon country code
// or...
// perform whois, look at location
?>

No whois built into PHP (to my knowlege) so you'd have to launch a whois application to get that info.

I believe they give the city where your ISP is located.

They got country correct and the state. But I didn't know there was a town in NJ named madison.

Yea, that helped somewhat, although I'm now storing user IP as mediumtext as opposed to int(255).

I'm looking to grab the geographical location of the user, and their hostname, any scripts out there to do this?

Cheers,

There's an IP logging script on http://www.phplounge.com you might find it useful
