Re: FN-FORUM: Country detection

date posted 23rd January 2005 16:35

Hi everyone

An advertiser has contacted me about advertising on one of my sites. He
wants the ads to only target audiences from the UK.

I've done some testing and searching, and the solution I came up with
was to store a range of IP addresses in a table and check that against
the user's IP.

The problem is, it doesn't always work - I'm on BT and my IP address
doesn't come up in the IP addresses table.

If anyone has an idea on how I could better achieve "country detection",
I'd be much obliged!
