IP2Location BIN Database

This module requires IP2Location BIN database to function. An outdated BIN database was provided in this release for your testing, but it's recommended to download the latest BIN database at the below link

• IP2Location LITE BIN Database (free): https://lite.ip2location.com
• IP2Location BIN Database (commercial version with high accuracy): https://www.ip2location.com

For the BIN database update, you can just rename the downloaded BIN database to IP2LOCATION-DB.BIN and replace the copy in application/libraries/ip2location/ (if you didn't change the default IP2LOCATION_DATABASE constant as described in the below section).

IPv4 BIN vs IPv6 BIN

Use the IPv4 BIN file if you just need to query IPv4 addresses.

Use the IPv6 BIN file if you need to query BOTH IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

Usage

Use following codes in your application for get geolocation information.

// Define IP2Location database path (optional). By default, the IP2LOCATION_DATABASE is pointed to *application/libraries/ip2location/IP2LOCATION-DB.BIN* if you choose not to change the original settings.
define('IP2LOCATION_DATABASE', '/path/to/ip2location/database');

// Load the IP2Location library and perform the country code lookup
$this->load->library('ip2location_lib');
$countryCode = $this->ip2location_lib->getCountryCode('8.8.8.8');

Sample Code

Sample codes are given in this project, under controllers folder. You may run the sample code by using <your_domain>/index.php/ip2location_test.
