This is the QUICK REFERENCE TO PHP for students, IT engineers and for all newcomers. Besides of numerous PHP examples this e-book contains also some simple JavaScript code snippets to show how to perform data processing on the client side by JavaScript and on the server side by PHP. Those are always the two alternative methods to select by programmers. So I have compared hereby some popular programming techniques being frequently used and providing complementary solutions. Because this e-book and these examples was written by and for programmers, PHP comes here with an extensive set of features and functions. The most interesting examples see:

* Information Feedback: Client-Server-Client-Server dialogue (CH 10, CH 16)

* Effective programming in PHP (CH 10)

* A simple way to place an image in PHP (CH 11)

* How to get visitor IP (APPENDIX)

* Algorithm complexity (CH 12)


FREE SAMPLE

Sometimes you can prefer to implement such type query in your PHP code. It is simple. The simple code below is working and it is ready to use.

 

// Adam Majczak: Geo-location Example

$ip='83.203.140.87'; // here you can use any valid IP

function AmCheckIP($ip) {

if(!filter_var($ip, FILTER_VALIDATE_IP)) {

throw new InvalidArgumentException("ERROR: IP not valid"); }

$answer=@file_get_contents('http://www.netip.de/search?query='.$ip);

if (empty($answer)) {

throw new InvalidArgumentException("Error: Geo-Location-Server connection failed."); }

$patterns=array();

$patterns["domain"] = '#Domain: (.*?) #i';

$patterns["country"] = '#Country: (.*?) #i';

$patterns["state"] = '#State/Region: (.*?)

$patterns["town"] = '#City: (.*?)

$ipInfo=array();

foreach ($patterns as $key => $pattern) {$ipInfo[$key] = preg_match($pattern, $answer, $value) && !empty($value[1]) ? $value[1] : 'not detected'; }

return $ipInfo;

}

print_r( AmCheckIP($ip) );

?>

// printout:

Array ([country] => FR - France [state] => Bourgogne [town] => Dijon)
