How to resolve this "Invalid argument supplied for foreach()" problem?

Hi

I have problem with script that shows "Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/../../test.php on line 17".

Script working, with showing this error on begining. Any idea what is the problem (since I am not programer, but I need that script ) PHP Version on my site is 4.4.3.

Here is code:

 <?
$IPaddress=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$two_letter_country_code=iptocountry($IPaddress);

if ($two_letter_country_code=="UK"){
     include("This_file_for_UK.html");
      die();
    }else{
     include("This_file_for_others.html");
      die();
    }

function iptocountry($ip) {   
    $numbers = preg_split( "/\./", $ip);   
    include("ip_files/".$numbers[0].".php");
    $code=($numbers[0] * 16777216) + ($numbers[1] * 65536) + ($numbers[2] * 256) + ($numbers[3]);   
[B]    foreach($ranges as $key => $value){[/B]
        if($key<=$code){
            if($ranges[$key][0]>=$code){$two_letter_country_code=$ranges[$key][1];break;}
            }
    }
    if ($two_letter_country_code==""){$two_letter_country_code="unkown";}
    return $two_letter_country_code;
}
?> 

Code (markup):

FYI, very nice script for geotargeting and country identification based on IP address and could be found here:

thanks

 

foreach($ranges as $key => $value){

ranges isn't set

 

Any idea how to resolve this?

 

change foreach($ranges as $key => $value){ to

@foreach($ranges as $key => $value){

it's because not all of those files have items in, and so theres no data to loop over ..... the @ symbol supresses errors for that line

 

You may also check if $ranges is a array or not as,

if(is_array($ranges) && count($ranges) > 0)
{
        // your foreach loop goes here
}

PHP:

 

Thats working!

Thanks people!

 

Yes Nice Idea thanks...
