Chi H.

This class implements a faster method to find the location of IP addresses.

It can take a IP2Location database file and generates list files that are faster to search.

The class uses the data in those list files to lookup for the location a given IP addresses.

Prize: SourceGuarding PHP encoder tool		 IP2Location is a well known service that uses database files to determine the location of IP addresses of given ranges.

Usually it uses the binary search method to find the location of a given IP address, so it reduces the amount of information to be read from IP2Location database file.

The class implements a more optimized method to lookup the location of IP address in pure PHP code. It departs from a database file from IP2Location more efficient data structures to lookup.

<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL);
echo ini_get("memory_limit")."\n";
ini_set('max_execution_time', 0);

//Timer started
$m_start = microtime(true);

//Load file using FILE_IO method for testing
//$db = new \IP2Location\Database('./databases/IP2LOCATION-LITE-DB11.BIN', \IP2Location\Database::FILE_IO);
$db = new \IP2Location\Database('./databases/IP2LOCATION-LITE-DB11.IPV6.BIN', \IP2Location\Database::FILE_IO);

//Get IP address for testing
$ip_list = explode("\r\n", file_get_contents('ip_list.txt'));

//Run the testing
$ip_data = array();

//Timer stopped

//Get the expected result data for validation

Better IP2Location PHP Library

  1. What is does it do? Better IP2Location PHP Library for faster query time.

1.2. Features - Faster query time

  1. Requirements -PHP 5 -IP2Location lite database (DB11)
  2. Installation Download test.php, IP2Location.php, ip_list.txt, ip_result.txt and free IP2Location Lite DB 11 to a folder on your pc. Create inside the main folder antother folder "databases" and move the IP2LOCATION-LITE-DB11.BIN file into it.
  3. Tutorial 4.1 run the "test.php" in the command shell with option -f: php -f test.php. 4.2 Pre-calculation of binary search 4.2.1 Download calc.php, IP2LocationCalc.php to the main folder 4.2.2 Create pre-calculation and run calc.php in command shell (php -d calc.php) and wait 30-50min. 4.2.3 Open the file1.txt and copy its content to the file IP2Location.php into var $k replacing the old array. 4.3 Alternative solution (slower) 4.3.1 Replace in test.php require_once 'IP2Location.php'; with require_once 'IP2LocationCalc.php'; 4.3.2 run test.php (php -f test.php)
