    Given an IP, how do you find out what country it is from?
    Can I do this in server side script like PHP?
    Thank you.

    Use a whois. Usually it works well enough. Or you can google "IP Location". Here's something that I've found, ip2location.com/free.asp

    geoiptool.com

    You can lookup Any domain/hostname/ip address to get a location for it.

    If you want to integrate a GeoIP solution into your script, check out this site: http://www.maxmind.com/app/geolitecity

    They have a free downloadable database of IP ranges and the geographical locations that they cover. It's not extremely accurate, but it's free, and will do the job 90% of the time.
