    I want to put something in a PHP script that will tell if a viewer is from Canada or the US or some other country?

    I need to put some Amazon links on a site, and want to customize it to go to the correct Amazon site for the country.

    I'm looking for a solution that is recommended

    I found, for example this one http://ip-to-country.webhosting.info/node/view/6 - which requires downloading a reference file.
