I.P. question: resolving IPs

[aadar75]

Is there any way to conditionally display content depending on the IP os a user for your website

Like options, if the IPs from a specific region or something like that. English from within the US, English/French with Canada

yo can evaluate SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'] if provided from the browser

but you shouldn't forget to let the user change the language afterwards

What I meant was, if I've a users IP, how do I resolve the IP to the country there from.

Then use that info to direct them to a specific page that for example is in a certain language etc, or has certain specific content?

Generally, it's a better idea to use the accept-language header in the request, as mrhappiness suggests - people generally have a better idea of what language they want to read pages than their ISP.

But for matching IPs to countries, a search of the forums for ip country, say, should turn up dozens of pages.

Yep, and a search would have turned up something like half a dozen mentions of the fact 🙂
