IP Address Web Redirection

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Apr 24.2006

does anyone here know how to redirect users from a webpage to another site depending on their global location?

By that i mean if for example, theres a website called [url]www.company.com[/url] so a client from UK will be redirected to the [url]www.company.co.uk[/url] website and similarly a client in Australia will be redirected to [url]www.company.au[/url].

I think that each country has a range of ip addresses and depending on that specific range, they should be redirected to that webpage.

Could some point me in right direction?

@hyperliskApr 24.2006 — You can't get the IP from JavaScript. You need a Server Side language like PHP to do that. From PHP, you could get the IP with
[code=php]
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
[/code]

@scoperApr 24.2006 — you could use the HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE server variable to determin their language and redirect based on that... it might be easier than checking ip address lists
