Hey mate, thanks for the script.

However, I’m having trouble getting it going. I’m fairly inexperienced with php, so please bear with me.

In the code you have a placeholder IP that generates the location, etc. What do I replace this with to generate the IP ??

I have found the Ip details for my home network on the site named as www.ip-details.com.It is very useful for me .I found the comnection speed like the uploadind speed,downloadind speed etc on the same website ,Domain name given means it will display the address of the ip server where it is located etc ..I want to know that all from the website above mentioned ...another thing is it will display the map if the search loaction u have entered on search ..

does not seem to work when it’s not allowed to include /open a file from a different server.

You can get the free API from http://www.ip2location.com. It is more accurate that the free API at hostip as we’ve tested for some times.

Hi Roshan,

Thanks for the script.
I have another doubt here. You are making use of webservice to get the country name. Now suppose tomorrow, if the service provides changes the host name or if they stop providing the details, then we will not be able to get the details. Can we rely on the host name (http://api.hostip.info/?ip=) through which you are getting the details ?

Thanks

Great! Does anybody know if there are restrictions for using this type of service. As it is free I suppose it has its limitations!
