    I'm using GeoLite from Maxmind - have geoip.inc and GeoIP.dat on the server and the code seems to be fine:

      <?php
include("geoip.inc");
$gi = geoip_open("GeoIP.dat",GEOIP_STANDARD);
$country = geoip_country_code_by_addr($gi, $REMOTE_ADDR);
geoip_close($gi);

echo "$country"
  ?>
    PHP:
    Right now its obviously only echoing the country instead of redirecting to an offer.

    Cookies arn't an issue, as this will only be a landing page visitors only come once to.

    Now, this works PERFECT; except for Canada (the one country I really need it to work for).... which has me baffled.

    Any help is much appreciated!

    Even using IP2Nation with SQL databases, the Geo Targeting works beautifully for all countries BUT Canada.

    The only thing I can think of is if there was some odd recent switch in Canadian IPs or the most recent databases have Canadian IPs listed as US for some reason.

    Once again, any light shed would be awesome.
