IPGeolocationPHP / Geolocator-PHP Updates

Chris Dzombak — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 07:11:09 +0000

I’ve recently done a lot of work on my OSS Geolocator-PHP class (previously known as IPGeolocationPHP).

The class now has many new features and more robust code with an improved interface. It should be logical and easy to use.

By now, I’ve reached v2 alpha 2.5, and I think it’s sufficiently ready for users to begin implementing and testing in their applications. See the project page for docs, downloads, etc.

Announcing IPGeolocation PHP 1.0

I have released version 1.0 of IPGeolocation PHP, a class that provides easy access to an API that provides location information about IP addresses. Check it out!

For more information and to download the release, please see the project page. I recommend that anyone using a previous release upgrade to 1.0; the interface is identical and you should see no problems using v1.0 instead of 0.99 or 0.9.

There are a few small changes in this release, but the most notable changes are that I am moving to github for source control, issue tracking, and downloads. Thus far, I like it; it seems very nice, and I have not had any problems learning to use git.

IPGeolocationPHP Release 0.99

I have released a new version of my IP geolocation class, IPGeolocation PHP. The project page, with docs and downloads, is here: http://projects.chrisdzombak.net/ipgeolocationphp.

Significantly, this fixes the fact that the class was broken for a while since the API endpoint’s address changed (!).

Here are the changes from version 0.9:

Added a bit of documentation about region codes. Basically, they seem to be internally useful to the API, but your app should not need to use them.
Various documentation improvements.
Updated API endpoint URL.
Set a few more cURL options.
Added error handling around the cURL code.
Added capability to use the API’s backup server.

A 1.0 release will soon follow barring any bug discoveries!

Announcing: IPGeolocation PHP

This is to be my first open-source project. I have just published IPGeolocation, a PHP class which allows you to get information on the physical location of an IP address.

For more info, please see the project site. I’ll post more on this later, but right now I am quite busy.

Release 0.9 is available; this release is probably suitable for production but has a few TODOs before I can call it 1.0.
