Associate IP addresses with countries [closed]

Asked 20/12, 2009 at 11:56 Answered 6/1, 2014 at 20:48

I want to show country flag depending on ip address I receive at server side. Are fixed ip addresses are assigned to countries ? Where can I get database for ip address to country mapping ?

Quite straight forward. Get country flag icons & map IP address to country name. The icon & country names are linked via country codes. – Hepatitis 16/6, 2016 at 17:55

Take a look at the following:

Also on Stack Overflow:

Once you have the country code, then you can display the flag with these free icon sets which use ISO country codes:

PHP Advent also just published a whole article on a very similar process:

It would be nice to know which resource/link you used to solve your problem. – Methane 20/2, 2017 at 6:37

You're looking for an IP geolocation service such as MaxMind.

Or GeoBytes (geobytes.com/IpLocator.htm?GetLocation), or... We should all probably just edit this answer (which is, generically, use a reference site) with a list of them. :-) – Karlotta 20/12, 2009 at 12:1

@T.J.Crowder it is not showing exact location. Shown some other. – Canadianism 28/1, 2014 at 9:36

ip2location.com provides an IP range database which can be used to tag IP addresses

they provide it in different formats as well so you can choose which one is useful to you

Maxmind is the one we use

Open Sourced self contained flag rendering based on IP: ip2ensign

It will lookup UV coordinates in a flag texture atlas that matches an arbitrary IP. And it comes with the IP range database and the texture.
