    Hey PHPsters!

    This is what I want to do:
    1) From my website (domain x.com) - I want to submit a compiled form (which I create) to another domain (y.com) and afterwards read the results from the posting of that form.

    OR

    2) Get the Country that a persons is visiting my website from.

    I have a function that generates an email whenever any of my banners are clicked (I know I know, I'm working on that). In the email I have the IP address for the visitor of the site. What I want instead is the Country, Region and City.

    How can I get this done?

    Thanks for the help in advance! :)

    1. Use curl to submit the form.

    2. You need a geoip db that maps ip address to physical location

    If you don't have cURL available, you could also use the fake ajax method involving an iframe and javascript. It's a bit messy to work with but it works. PM me if you're interested.
