Can anybody recommend a IP to country (or better still
IP->city) database and script?

Ryan,
I've used Tracewatch (a web stats package) on a couple of sites, and it
comes with a CSV of IP to Country conversions I believe.
URL: www.tracewatch.com

Thanks Kevin,
Will look into it, I think I found the same link via
the SEs...am not sure though.

As usual, most generious, thanks for the offer.
I'm still testing 3 that I found, if they dont go well
will take you up on your offer.
I have found quite a few ip-> country scripts/DBs (one
extra with help from Kevin from the list) but unable
to find any ip->city that is not commercial...the only
one everyone seems to be promoting is ip2location
which is $199
Any idea of a free one? If no, will continue with the
ip->country instead of city.
Thanks!

Will do, the problem is, when I visited that page it
tells me:
Your location:
city (unknown)
Country: EU
and gives me an option to identify myself below... I
did, so it will help you expand your db, but I cant
want to ask the visitors to my clients site to do the
same, it has to show them their correct country a high
percentage of the time.
After submitting my location details I went back there
and refreshed the page but it still shows me the same
old data....
Cheers!

No problem -- I met with a client yesterday where I told him that. He
thought it a good quote as well, but let's see if he hires me. :-)

Will do, the problem is, when I visited that page it
tells me:
Your location:
city (unknown)
Country: EU
That routine doesn't reference a dB-- it simply uses:
$location = get_location_xml( get_remote_ip() );
$city = parse_city( $location );
$country = parse_country( $location );
No big deal -- just something I found interesting.

Yep, but you're expecting more from me than what I deserve.
I could collect the data and build my own dB -- that sounds
reasonable. But, my test here was simply to see how valid those calls
were. I have no idea if the people who are submitting data to me are
telling the truth or not. As such, it would be problematic to build a
reliable dB from the "few" visitors I receive.
Plus, things change. Sometimes I access my site and it shows my
correct location of "Lansing, MI", then other times is shows
"Jackson, MI", and today it's showing "Unknown, CA". So, even if I
were being honest, what would I report?
I have seen some pretty accurate reporting systems, but I fear that
they have to be kept current on a daily basis.

Interesting....

I guess so too, some companies are charging 199 for
the database (ip->country and city) and $280 for 1
year of updates.
The (free) package i downloaded references the DB and
so far its been pretty accurate (only ip-> country
though), i also checked it with some known proxies
(Korea, Japan, China and the US) and its been spot on
so far.
I can send it to you if you want, I had to tweak the
script a bit due to inconsistant variable names and
globals being off on my machine but it works great
now. Feel free to reply to me if you want it. Its just
under 3mb with the country csv file.
Cheers!

Ummmm file_exists() ?
A simple search on the search engines for "php file

Dude, dont be lazy and just post here or you are going

Use the glob function: php.net/glob. Something like:
$f = glob('*.xls');
if ( count($f) )
$file = $f[0];
else
die('no file');

Its all connected, had you searched the SEs first,
your would have found file_exists(), then if you read
that functions page at php.net you would have seen
readdir() which is another way of doing exactly what
you want..
eg:
readdir, if the directory is populated you can then
check the extention (eg: .com, php, xls or whatever)
All I am saying is, try to use the list as pretty much
your last resort..

I know you asked for a reference, but you might try this.
Replace "tmp" with path/to/your/folder.
The routine will look for files in the indicated folder. If there are
no files present, then nothing happens -- however, if there are any
files present, then it will fill the file_array with their names.
From that, it will look at the files within that array and select out
only those with the proper suffixes and fill the html array. Then it
will read in from the html array and list the contents of those files
to your web page.
This should do what you want.
<?php
$path = "tmp";
if ($handle = opendir($path))
{
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle)))
{
if ($file != "." && $file != "..")
{
$file_array[] = $file;
if(eregi("(\.xml|\.html|\.htm|\.php|\.txt)", $file))
{
$html[] = $file;
}
}
}
closedir($handle);
}
if (isset($file_array))
{
echo ("<br/>---- all files in dir");
echo ("<pre>");
print_r($file_array);
echo("</pre>");
echo ("<br/>---- selected files in dir");
echo ("<pre>");
print_r($html);
echo("</pre>");
if($html != null)
{
sort($html);
foreach($html as $html => $value)
{
$filename = $path . "/" . $value;
$filesize = filesize($filename);
$file = fopen( $filename, "r" );
$text = fread( $file, $filesize );
fclose( $file );
echo( "<br/>File read: $filename<br/> ");
echo( "File Size: $filesize bytes<br/>" );
echo( "File Content:$text<br/>" );
}
}
}
else
{
echo ("<br/>---- nothing to read");
}

Hi all,
Is anyone aware of a php script that runs as a proxy (not a web proxy)? I
have a hosting account with a dedicated IP, and I'm wondering if I can use
this account to run a proxy where I enter my account's dedicated IP in the
browser as a proxy, and use that to surf the net.
I am already running a web proxy, but want to expand to be able to use the
proxy with other applications.

I'm still very frustrated trying to figure out how to upload a
file. I must have tried 15 different coding examples and none of them work.
When I try and debug and do a
print_r($_FILES);
All I'm getting back is array() with no data.
File upload is allowed in my php.ini
Can anyone offer any other insight before my laptop sails into the
wall ?<smile>

Have you tried the very simple example shown in the manual?
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php
I will be right by my computer for a while, so make sure to reply to the
list. Pay particular attention to MAX_FILE_SIZE. Even if file upload is
