I have been googling for some code to show which country an IP address is from, and came across this website:-
http://www.appelsiini.net/~tuupola/196/i18nip2country
I've got the database downloaded and installed into MySQL but the instructions then say to issue the PEAR command........ etc.
But I've not heard of PEAR before - does anyone know what it is? 
Cheers,
Phil. |

They probably describe it best on their site:
http://pear.php.net/
They have some pretty useful PHP modules, I use one that generates excel sheets:
http://pear.php.net/package/Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer
I would compare it to something CPAN for Perl, modules on demand that are configurable, etc. This particular site appears to have written a PHP module for their code. |
