    i am using $ip= $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] to retrieve the ip address of the client for example if the value returned from $ip

    is 50.160.190.150

    i would like to find out which country the request has come from. i believe by using the third set of numbers (in this case=190) from an ip address we can find out the country name. i can declare a variable with a list of country names and the range of values, what i need help is to extract the 3rd set of numbers from $ip.

    as ip address keep changing the 3rd set of numbers can be single, double or
    3 digit number how can we extract the number that is stored in $ip after the second dot and before the third dot

    please advice.

    thanks.
