display users nearest city

[bk4life]

hi,

i was wondering if anyone had a script that whenever a user would visit your site, it would simply display in plain text their city, or the nearest city near them.

thanks,

brian

I've been using Micah Carrick's php class to handle this for a couple of years now. I am not sure how up to date the database is, but it's always worked fine for me. It's free and easy to setup/use..
