Redirect by country

PROGRAMMING

I need to redirect my traffic by visitors country. I have one method for doing this but the code is not what i exactly need.

Im using this code:

Code:

<?php
require_once('geoip.inc');

$gi = geoip_open('GeoIP.dat', GEOIP_MEMORY_CACHE);
$country = geoip_country_code_by_addr($gi, $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
geoip_close($gi);

$my_countries = array('us', 'ca', 'gb', 'fr', 'de', 'nl');
if (!in_array(strtolower($country), $my_countries))
{
header('Location: http://www."ALL"TRAFFICURLGOESHERE.whatever');
}
else
{
header('Location: http://www."SELECTEDCOUNTRIES"URLGOESHERE.whatever');
}
?>

...and Im using these files:

http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/...y/GeoIP.dat.gz

http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/.../php/geoip.inc

It works but only for one group or one country. This script is sending the visitors from selected countries to second url and other IP's to first url.

I need a code that will send different countires to different URL's. I need to set up few countries (one url per country) and one url for other countries, that are not metioned in the code.

For example:

USA -> url1
GB -> url2
CA -> url3
All other countries -> url4

Can anyone help me? I think its simple for advenced coder, but I have 0 experience in PHP. I think that its possible to use these two files with data that Ive metioned.

Help will be much appreciated.

Just change your "if" statement:

if ($country=="us")
{
header('Location: http://www.USA.whatever');
}
elseif ($country=="gb")
{
header('Location: http://www.GREATBRITAN.whatever');
}
elseif ($country=="ca")
{
header('Location: http://www.CANADA.whatever');
}
else
{
header('Location: http://www."OTHERCOUNTRIES.whatever');
}

If you are going to have a long logistic condition it may be better to use a switch

switch ($country)
{
case 'gb':
header('Location: http://www.GREATBRITAN.whatever');
break;

case 'ca':
header('Location: http://www.Canada.whatever');
break;

case 'fr':
header('Location: http://www.France.whatever');
break;

default:
header('Location: http://www.some_default.com');

}

  It worked for me but only with this code: http://shockmarketer.com/country-red...direct.php.zip You can select the countires at the end. You want to use a recent ip database: http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/...y/GeoIP.dat.gz

  If you have several country/URL pairs, you'll find it easier to maintain if you do something like the following:
  
  require_once 'geoip.inc';
  
  $urls_countries = array(
  'US' => 'htp://USA_URL/',
  'CA' => 'htp://CANADA_URL/',
  'GB' => 'htp://BRITAIN_URL/',
  'FR' => 'htp://FRANCE_URL/',
  );
  
  $gi = geoip_open('GeoIP.dat', GEOIP_MEMORY_CACHE);
  $url = $urls_countries[geoip_country_code_by_addr($gi, $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'])];
  $url = $url ? $url : 'htp://DEFAULT_URL/';
  header("Location: $url", TRUE, 301);
  
  Thanks

  You should just change the if statement of your like this
  
  if ($country=="us")
  {
  header('Location:usa.php');
  }
  
  for all your countries and it will work fine
  
  Thanks
