Below programs illustrate the geoip_db_filename() function in PHP:
Program 1:
<?php   // PHP code implementing the geoip_db_filename() function   // The function takes the database and returns // the filename according to the database print geoip_db_filename(GEOIP_COUNTRY_EDITION); ?> |
Output:
/usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat
Program 2:
<?php $arr = array( Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 'GEOIP_COUNTRY_EDITION' => GEOIP_COUNTRY_EDITION, Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 'GEOIP_REGION_EDITION_REV1' => GEOIP_REGION_EDITION_REV1, Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 'GEOIP_PROXY_EDITION' => GEOIP_PROXY_EDITION, Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 'GEOIP_ASNUM_EDITION' => GEOIP_ASNUM_EDITION, Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 'GEOIP_DOMAIN_EDITION' => GEOIP_DOMAIN_EDITION, Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 'EOIP_UNKNOWN_SPEED' => GEOIP_UNKNOWN_SPEED, Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 'GEOIP_DIALUP_SPEED' => GEOIP_DIALUP_SPEED, Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 'GEOIP_CABLEDSL_SPEED' => GEOIP_CABLEDSL_SPEED, Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 'GEOIP_CORPORATE_SPEED' => GEOIP_CORPORATE_SPEED Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â ); Â Â foreach ($arr as $val) { Â Â Â Â echo geoip_db_filename($val) . (geoip_db_avail($val) ? 'Available':'') . '<br>'; } ?> |
Output:
