IP2LocLite

Laravel 4 integration for IP2Location Lite with database support and download., _(*1)

You can consider this is Poor Man's IP2Location script where you have everything stored locally so there is no fear that your 3rd party service would be down., _(*2)

You need to create your account on https://www.ip2location.com/ Then provide details inside config for ip2loc-lite.php inside your config dir., _(*3)

This script supports only free mySQL database powered search at this point. Revision one supports only DB3 that has Country Abbreviation code, Country name, State/Region name, City name., _(*4)

Future updates will cover other 4 different databases. Note that there is no information about State/Region Abbreviation code., _(*5)

Installation

It can be found on Packagist. The recommended way is through composer., _(*6)

Edit composer.json and add:, _(*7)

{
    "require": {
        "nem-c/ip2loc-lite": "~1.0"
    }
}

Find the providers array key in config/app.php and register the Geocoder Service Provider., _(*8)

'providers' => array(
    // ...

    'NemC\IP2LocLite\Providers\IP2LocLiteServiceProvider',
)

Usage

$ php artisan ip2loclite:download-csv

$ php ip2loclite:import-csv

Automate whole process by chaining those 2 commands like, _(*9)

$ php artisan ip2loclite:download-csv && php ip2loclite:import-csv

Get information about IP if exists, _(*10)

// ...
$geoForIp = IP2LocLite::get('2.16.0.234');
// ...

As result you should have something like, _(*11)

/**
 * object(stdClass)[521]
 *   public 'long_from' => int 34603008
 *   public 'long_to' => int 34603263
