Could you all try this :

http://www.un-map.com/ip2country/ip2country.php

and make sure that the country code/name is correct

It returns your IP address, country code (2 and 3 code version) and country name

[MrTAToad]

Sounds like its all pretty accurate.

ip-to-country.csv ??

I was hoping to intergrate the csv file into a mySQL database, but the PHP just wouldn't connect, so I found an alternative way of doing it.

Generally, in the retail market, geo-locating IP addresses will work ok.  Please note that multi-national corporations have address spaces that they use spanning multiple countries.  In such cases you might get a correct country (corporation wise) but not the correct geographical location of the actual address user.

That shouldn't be too much of a problem - my Language selection routine allows the user to change the country thats returned from the web routine.

I didn't actually write the main routine - the actual code is from http://chir.ag/projects/geoiploc/ - I just slightly modified the interface code
