IP Address lookup

[Wardy]

Anyone able to point me in the right direction for what I need to display the whois information for an ip address.
I want to allow users to see what the information about their IP address is etc. Similar to the information this displays http://wrpn.net/tools/ipwhois.php

I know how to display a users IP Address with the code below

PHP Code:

<? echo getenv('REMOTE_ADDR'); ?>

I just now want to be able to have that info looked up and display the information relating to it.

I have done plenty of searches on google yet not found anythign of use yet I htink it must be relaively easy!

Cheers

Have you tried using REMOTE_HOST instead of REMOTE_ADDR?

This might help it might not !

[Fraser]

Sorry - just realised you are probably looking for more than that

maybe http://shat.net/php/nqt/

could contain some idea how to go about it

This is what you want http://www.iana.org/ipaddress/ip-addresses.htm

There are different organisations responsible for maintaing the info for different parts of the net. RIPE is the one that covers the UK.

Not sure what their republishing rules are.

Nice one Fraser & Stuart. Will have a look through both of them and see if I can spot the bit of code I need

Fraser, love the name of that website too
