PHP: Detect the Internet Service Provider (ISP)

Hi,

I would like to know how to detect the ISP of the visitor thru PHP code? It should display like...

Ex.

Your ISP: SBC Global

Any help would be much appreciated.

 

It can't merely be detected using PHP code, however there are paid data available on internet.

One of the most famous is available at following link:

http://www.maxmind.com/app/isp

 

thanks, is there any free db like the one in hostip.info?

 

hostip.info also seems a good free option as far as ISP detection is concerned. Why don't you try their free API and data to figure out how it is working??

 

i use to have that code before (detect ISP thru PHP) but i cant remember where i get it. it displays like isp.domain.com

 

try evaluating one of above to and do google meanwhile other members will also give in their suggestions..

 

5 seconds with google:

I think you can find IP ranges of country's (ISP's) Then write script
