GeoIP Location

Get the geographical location of website visitors based on their IP addresses. Support Laravel and PHP (Non-Laravel) Project.

Installation

Install using composer, from the command line run:

$ composer require victorybiz/geoip-location

Laravel Project

Alternatively, you can add "victorybiz/geoip-location": "^1.1" to your composer.json file's require section and then you'll then need to run composer install or composer update to download it and have the autoloader updated.

If you use Laravel >= 5.5 you can skip this step and go to usage

If you use Laravel < 5.5, you need to register the service provider with the application. Open up config/app.php and locate the providers key.

'providers' => [

    Victorybiz\GeoIPLocation\GeoIPLocationServiceProvider::class,

]

And add the GeoIPLocation alias to config/app.php:

'aliases' => [

	'GeoIPLocation' => Victorybiz\GeoIPLocation\Facades\GeoIPLocationFacade::class,

]

Usage in Laravel Project

Please use the GeoIPLocation Facade

use GeoIPLocation;

echo GeoIPLocation::getIP(); // Return client IP

PHP (Non-Laravel) Project

Require the vendor autoload file in your php script.

    require_once 'path/to/vendor/autoload.php';

Usage

Localhost IP 127.0.0.1, 192.168.65.0, 172.18.0.1 and ::1 will return 169.159.82.111 to assert a valid geo response.

    use Victorybiz\GeoIPLocation\GeoIPLocation;

    $geoip = new GeoIPLocation(); 

    // OR

    $geoip = new GeoIPLocation([
        'ip' => null, // Set IP.  Default is NULL, will be auto set by the package
        'baseCurrency' => 'USD', // Set base currency for exchange rate. Default is USD
    ]);

Alternatively

    $geoip = new \Victorybiz\GeoIPLocation\GeoIPLocation();

    // OR

    $geoip = new \Victorybiz\GeoIPLocation\GeoIPLocation([
        'ip' => null, // Set IP.  Default is NULL, will be auto set by the package
        'baseCurrency' => 'USD', // Set base currency for exchange rate. Default is USD
    ]);

You're good to go, explore the package

    echo $geoip->getIP(); // Return client IP

    echo $geoip->setIP('0.0.0.0'); // Set an IP to get its geographical location

    echo $geoip->getCity(); // Return client IP City (null if none)

    echo $geoip->getRegion(); // Return client IP Region (null if none)
