Asvin Balloo’s Blog: Geolocate your visitors with PHP (part 2)
Asvin Balloo has posted the second part of his geolocate with PHP tutorial series – using the mapping information gathered from the previous article to plot them on a map.
In the first part of this series I showed how you could get the country of a visitor via his IP address. Now with this precious information, I’ll show you how to map the visitor visually on the world map using Google Maps.
The full code is provided – the PHP to pull the latitude/longitude information from the GeoIP library and the Javascript to get the Google Map to plot the point. You can check out the live demo for an example or just grab the source and try it out for yourself.
