hey roomies! I was testing this script by using proxies and then reloading my site to see where the script indicated what city I was located in, it works but it was quirky... my results were inconsistant at best, but then again I was using publicly available ip's, so they may not be the best for testing purposes is it possible you could place your results on this thread to see how accurate it is for you? I gotta believe maxmind is top notch in the industry, so maybe it's just the ip's I used? thanks to anyone who'll help in advance!!' (and if no one does, at least I tried!) AMF ~!
