redirect people based on where they live...

**queerfm** · 11-20-2006, 05:52 PM

Hi i was wondering i have a site that i want to make so when someone goes to my website the index page redirects them to there own countrys url. Like

http://www.YOURWEBSITE.com/Index.html
then if in the UK it goes to
http://www.YOURWEBSITE.com/UK/index.html
or if in Australia it goes to
http://www.YOURWEBSITE.com/AUSTRALIA/index.html

Also i would like it to remember where the person cames from

If there was a URL code that would help me with this that would be great.

Thanks

Then place clearly labelled links somewhere on your site. Either launch straight into the site with some sensible default, or display the links upfront.

Just use cookies to store their location.

Or you can use IP Geographical Location Technology.

That is very complex, though.
there was a recent thread about it... search for that... might help.

Isn't there some sort of PHP code that'll do the trick?

Not by default.
It's all discussed in the thread.
Options are either incomplete, expensive or complex. Usually a few of those.

I found this CSV file of all the locations of the IP addresses.

Can you use this and make it into a PHP script?
