Hello Everyone,
I would like to send my visitors to different pages on my website I would like to send USA IP's to say for example page_1.htm and IP's from everywhere else to page_2.htm
Just wanted to know if there was a PHP code out there that would do the job, green rep for anybody that posts a code that works.

Use the DB from MaxMind .. it's easy to implement, they provide sample code too (all free).

Its not just as simple as PHP code, to do the job more efficiently a database is required.

Depending on the size of the data, the database will slow down the process. MaxMind provide a binary version of their database, which is quicker, than importing an equivalent database of it. That's also why they provide the sample PHP code.
