GeoIP Redirect Script /w Maxmind Free Database (non-JS version)
- Thread starter mointernet
- Start date
Script works great. Thanks.. I did notice that when I try to download the zip file and unzip that I get this never-ending loop of zip files instead of the actual redirect script. I did some digging around was able to come up with the inc file from maxmind's site, which works. You can find that file tucked away in this download

anybody knows how to add a rotating function?
Like each US traffic get redirect to a group of links that are routed?
Thanks
Example
1st visitor from us go to link1, 2nd go to link 2, 3rd go to link 3, etc, so to be able to split test landing pages.

This you can do with bevomedia for free.
one tracking url that can redirect from geo targeting, dayparting, OS, browser
you can make as many links as you want.
I don't use Bevomedia for the fact that the GEO redirection script is hosted on their server... call me paranoid but I try to host everything on my own server including tracking links, adserver, analytics etc... they do have a self-hosted version but last I heard will cost around $500.

never tried using the city DB but some modifications will need to be done on the script, try to search the forum to see if there is any city GEOIP version.

could someone help me? I've got the script installed and it appears to be working. I tried to test the script by faking my location, but the scripts just redirects me to the the first link (in my case the us link). The link's landing page knows that i'm "not" from the us (I was spoofing my ip for the UK), but why didn't it go to the link for UK/GB? Thanks!

First go to Maxmind site to download the latest database, if the script still redirects you to the US landing page(everything sets up correctly), this means the database's mistakenly consider that IP comes from the US. You can either update the database manually to correct this error, or just live with it. It's not 100% accurate, but it's the best we can get for free. On my 2 VPS it also can't recognize them as US IPs. So probably you have to live with it, or pay for more accurate database.
By the way, it could also be your spoofing not working, so you better double check it with some other VPS.

To spoof? You mean by programming? I don't believe you can do that(at least you don't want to get into all the troubles to just spoof your ip), you can check this out here:
So basically you should just use a proxy instead of trying to "spoof" your IP.

Exact same problem
Latest database downloaded but with UK IP redirects to UK but with
US-NON US- Europe-Canada-Any other IP redirects to ONLY USA which is wrong!
So this doesn't worked
UPDATE:
I found the solution!!
This line not works well and doesn't return actual IP in 90% of today servers!!!
$ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
Replace it with this function!!
Code:
function getRealIpAddr()
{
if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'])) //check ip from share internet
{
$ip=$_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'];
}
elseif (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'])) //to check ip is pass from proxy
{
$ip=$_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
}
else
{
$ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
}
return $ip;
}
