Re-direction based on country required

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jul 31.2006

Hi Friends,
I have a php based site and I want to re-direct my users according to the country they are based in.For eg:
Usa users would be re-directed to :
[url]http://www.mysite.com/usa/index.php[/url]
while,Canada users would be re-directed to :
[url]http://www.mysite.com/canada/index.php[/url]

I saw some ready-made sripts available to do this….but can someone please suggest me which is the best way to do this?? Or which is the best and reliable script that lets you do this.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Mick

@mickscoolauthorAug 01.2006 — Thanks Doc Thirst,

But thats what my question is!!!

Say, a user from usa types : http://www.mysite.com

So,I want that the the script should automatically re-direct this user to:

http://www.mysite.com/usa/index.php

And another user from canada too types : http://www.mysite.com

For this,the script should re-direct the user to:

http://www.mysite.com/canada/index.php

So,I want to know which is the best script that lets you do this??

@balloonbuffoonAug 01.2006 — Well you can do it based on ip, but there are obstacles. First, you need a database of ip ranges and associated countries. You may not be able to find a good file for free. Second, the ip of the user may not actually be where they're located, for instance, if their isp is located in a different city (or country, I suppose.) So really, its more trouble than its worth. Just let them manually select which country they are from; I'm not aware of any better way.
