Iptocountry Problem - RUSH read this!

[}IN{Banny]

This is a main problem in all iptocountrys that the LOCAL IP is never recognized. I always have to set my country in the iptocountry.ini etc. Any 1 can code a lil bit to make it recognizable for LAN IP's too?

Local IP's are just that, local IP addresses. They cannot be traced to a country.

[Wormbo]

But you could code in a default country for local IPs.

I forget how to do this but it's a change somewhere , where you configure localhost to a country. I have done this before just can't remember how .. sure I posted it somewhere here a while back.

one of the .php files I think or an .ini can't remember sorry.

vaguely remember a change being made in getstats.php?

			// Get player info.
			$query = "select name, country from uts_pinfo where id = $player_id limit 1";
			$result2 = mysql_query($query);
			$r2 = mysql_fetch_array($result2);
			$player_name = $r2['name'];
			$player_country = $r2['country'];
			mysql_free_result($result2);
			if (substr($player_name, -1) == '\\') {
				$player_name .= ' ';
			}

^_^ section where you add in an if statement like ;

if $r2 = "xx" then $r2="your_country_code";

something like this anyways.

then someone from another country not defined by the std 99 in the countries.php file and they also appear to be from your country as well hehe.

That should be

if($r2['country'] == 'xx') {
  $r2['country'] = 'nl';
}

But that would set a default country for every unknown country, not just the local network.

I don't know about the database being used (I've seen a few different implementations) but you should be able to add a record for your LAN ip-range.

^_^ hehe and I think rork was the one that helped me last time with the same code in fact .

that will work.



Thanks rork .

maybe adding a little bit of code to the getstats.php or other.php that can allow for a custom variable for users to set their own country codes .

I remember i used to try changing my flag's / countries to others. but there was a range that did not work quite right gn,gl or something like this.

[back4more]

ok here's a thought;

edit countries.php;

and add this line after the following;

'xx' => 'Unknown country',
'00' => 'Lan'

then in the getstats.php;

if($r2['country'] == '00') {
$r2['country'] = 'nl';
}

might be the way to go...

*and then i re-read the Question and discover that he is asking about iptocountry not utstats DOH!

[Rush]

Other people are maintaining IpToCountry now. Resolving localhost IP to country doesn't make any sense, however an external PHP script could find out a real IP of the connection and return country for it.

[back4more]

its just for the little flaggy to show up for the lan / users in the hud probably

[Sp0ngeb0b]

Add the local IP in the IpToCountry.ini and the flag appears. Done. Highly doubt that putting more work into this is useful ..
e.g.:

IPData[0]=your.local.ip:your.local.ip:GERMANY:DEU:de
