Place this GeoLite2 database binary file (GeoLite2-City.mmdb) in your project directory.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nDownload & Install GeoIp2 Library:<\/b>
\nThe GeoIp2 library helps to retrieve the geolocation data from GeoLite2 binary database based on the IP address using PHP.<\/p>\n
Run the following command to download and install the GeoIp2 PHP library via Composer.<\/p>\n
composer require geoip2\/geoip2<\/pre>\nNote that:<\/span> You don’t need to download this library separately, all the required files are included in our source code. You can install and access the GeoIp2 library without using Composer.<\/p>\nDefine Database Reader Object:<\/b>
\nTo parse the GeoLite2 binary database, we need to create a GeoIp2\\Database\\Reader<\/code> object from GeoIp2 class.<\/p>\nInclude the autoloader and use the GeoIp2\\Database\\Reader<\/code> namespace to create a Reader object.<\/p>\nrequire_once <\/span>'vendor\/autoload.php'<\/span>;
use <\/span>GeoIp2<\/span>\\<\/span>Database<\/span>\\<\/span>Reader<\/span>;<\/span><\/pre>\nRetrieve Geolocation data from GeoLite2 Database with PHP:<\/b><\/p>\n\n- In the Reader object, pass the path of the database file as the first argument.<\/li>\n
- Specify the IP address in the first argument of the
city()<\/code> method.<\/li>\n- The following geolocation data will be returned from the database based on the given IP address.\n
\n- IP Address (
traits->network<\/code>)<\/li>\n- Country Code (
country->isoCode<\/code>)<\/li>\n- Country Name (
country->name<\/code>)<\/li>\n- State Code (
