    Just started with PHP and needless to say, enjoying a fair bit.

    Just wanted to know the procedure of finding the city and country location if the ip-address is known. I don't want the script for after knowing how its done, i plan to try one out myself.

    Just fill me in on a standard procedure if any .

    Thanks in advance.

    I believe it has to be done via a ip location database - I don't think it's really possible to write an algorithm to work it out...
