Can someone post a example on how to use this filter with the FREE city database (GeoLiteCity.dat).

I got the Country lookup working and thought the city lookup is prcedurally identical, but I guess not.

here is the code that I have for city lookup. am I missing something??


require_once 'PEAR/Net/GeoIP.php';
require_once 'PEAR/Net/GeoIP/Location.php';

$geoipCountry = Net_GeoIP::getInstance('PEAR/Net/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat');
$geoipCity = Net_GeoIP::getInstance('PEAR/Net/GeoIP/GeoLiteCity.dat');



try {
$country_name=$geoipCountry->lookupCountryName($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
echo '<br><br>';
echo $country_name;

//$city_name=$geoipCity->lookupLocation($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
//echo '<br><br>';
//echo $city_name;

$location=$geoipCity->lookupLocation($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
var_dump($location);

printf("City: %s, %s\nLatitude: %s, Longitude: %s\n",
$location->city, $location->region,
$location->latitude, $location->longitude);

}

catch (Exception $e)
{ // Handle exception
}
