Description ( Top )
With this class you can figure out from which country your visitor comes. It takes the IP address of the client's, converts it to hostname, then it checks end of the hostname. Sometimes the hostname cannot be resolved, thus the country cannot be determined either. This is not the fault of the script. Example: 193.6.138.45 => delfin.klte.hu => Hungary. Or with your data:

Client IP: 38.107.191.103
Client Hostname:
Client Country:
Client Flag:

Credits ( Top )
I found this class about a year ago, but I don't remember where exactly. It was submitted by HADDADI Fabien (tropicalm@free.fr). Fabien used MySQL, but the database is so small that I put it to a plain text file. This way the class can be used anywhere. I also added some new functions to the class.
