APNIC, RIPE, ARIN and LACNIC store country information
on assigned ip network blocks like this:

-cut-
apnic|MO|asn|4609|1|19950615|allocated
apnic|KR|asn|4670|1|19950616|allocated
apnic|SB|ipv4|202.63.254.0|512|19950618|assigned
apnic|JP|ipv4|202.232.0.0|262144|19950618|allocated
-cut-

this is where the ip to country databases get their information
from.

Well couldnt this be done with the majority of browsers, im not sure myself
but i remember reading somewhere that you can "ask" the browser where the
the user is ?. I think it has something to do with when the system is setup
the country is recorded ? might be a windows only thing again im not sure.

Well you're going to need to play with ARIN, APNIC, and RIPE. First, figure 
out which group the IP belongs to, then query their database. That will 
provide a good hint as to the location, but it's far from perfect. You only 
get the location of the people who own that block. So everyone w/ AOHell will 
appear to be in $wherever_aohell_is_based

It's a good starting point, though. Knowing my addr would allow you to find 
out I live in San Diego...

You can write a script that queries your own ip2geodata database but you 
would need the database in the first place.

IP's are not locked to a geographical area.

Period.

Thanks, but how would I get the results in PHP? What I'm trying to do
involves getting the user's IP address then finding where they are, like
what country, and then showing content specific stuff.
Good luck tracking AOL IPs :)  They seem to use a common pool across the
world.  That said, I recall that the mysql folks use some kind of
commercial system from a company called MaxMind...
