came across an IP function in PHP during my research on my latest project, I decided I would include a geolocation class within
my application.
now looking toward making the class more robust without relying heavily on custom apis
just downloaded a database as a “skeleton” for said project from https://github.com/maxmind/geoip-api-php
and also downloaded pecl from http://pecl.php.net/package/geoip
NOTE:all the installations are to be done at the server level
