Hi,
I'm trying to use the CountryFromIP class to determine a users country from their IP. Anyway, I keep getting a parse error when trying to test it:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /home/eastgate/public_html/bulldogs/teamstore/CountryFromIP.inc.php on line 11
Example.php:
<?php
require_once('CountryFromIP.inc.php');
$ip ='202.164.32.81';
//$ip ='210.25.55.2';
$object = new CountryFromIP();
$countryName = $object->GetCountryName($ip);
$flagPath = $object->ReturnFlagPath();
echo "<BR> <B>Country: </B>".$countryName;
echo "<BR> <B>Flag: </B> <img src=".$flagPath." border='0'>";
?>
CountryFromIP.php:
<?Php
/**
* This class generates the country name and its flag from its IP address
*
*
* @author Rochak Chauhan
*/
class CountryFromIP {
private $CountryIPDatabase = 'CountryIPDatabase.txt';
private $ip = '';
/**
* Function to validate IP ( please modify it according to your needs)
*
* @param $ip - string
*
* @return boolean
*/
public function ValdateIP($ip) {
$ipArray = explode(',',$ip);
if(count($ipArray) != 4) {
echo "<font color='red' size='3'> <b>ERROR: </b> Invalid IP</font>";
return false;
}
else {
return true;
}
}
/**
* Function to return Country name from the IPDatabase
*
* @param $ip string
*
* @return string - name of the country, false otherwise
*/
public function GetCountryName($ip) {
$this->ip = $ip;
$ip = sprintf("%u", ip2long($ip));
$csvArray = file($this->CountryIPDatabase);
for($i=0; $i<count($csvArray); $i++) {
$arrayOfLine = explode(',', $csvArray[$i]);
if($ip >= $arrayOfLine[0] && $ip <= $arrayOfLine[1] ) {
return $countryName = $arrayOfLine[2];
}
}
return false;
}
/**
* Function to return local path to Country's flag
*
* @param $ip - string
*
* @return string - local path to flag image
*/
public function ReturnFlagPath() {
if($countryName = trim(ucwords(strtolower($this->GetCountryName($this->ip))) )) {
$countryName = str_replace(' ','%20',$countryName);
return "flag/$countryName.gif";
}
else {
return false;
}
}
}
?>
I can't work out why it's breaking? Does anyone know why? Or does anyone know of another accurate method to determine a users country?
Thanks for any help,
~Oni.
