How to get IP Location?

**FastBurst** · 09-01-2006, 11:03 PM

hey Guys I am new to the board, but I will give this a shot.

I am working on an invoice system and I want to be able to do is list the IP and its location

Example I know using the:
<%
Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_HOST")
%>
gives me the IP address. Is there a way to drill down further.

Example down to the country and city?
I have seen it done on a few order forms when placing orders I want to know how I can drill down on this as well.

Hi

Think there's something on w3 schools, see this example:

While doing some Google Map research also found this cool tool.

No good to you but interesting all the same :O)

One solution is to use JS:

<script>
var my_url=document.URL;
var root_url=my_url.indexOf('Link.asp');
document.write(my_url.substring(0,root_url));
</script>

In this example I wanted just the url and not the actual asp file name

Are you plan to build a system link this ?

You first need a database contain a mapping between IP and location. You can find this kind of database from some warez homepage

Well, there's some related info on this using PHP here--

Using the same data and method, you could convert to ASP and go from there. (Or just switch to PHP and use the script supplied there if you'd prefer.)

Note: it's a fairly long discussion... starts being helpful mid-page-2.)

I think using something like this one will solve your problem completely.

I'm guessing that's similar to the solution used in the thread I linked to-- http://www.maxmind.com/app/geoip_country

Probably worth looking into. However... the link isn't loading for me.

EDIT: Now it loads, but looks like it costs $50. The one linked to above also is $50, I believe, but there is a free 'limited' version to use, which seems like it would probably do just fine.
