PHP - Get Time Zone By Country Name
You can use https://freegeoip.net/json/[IP address]
to get all the information you want.
How to get the Timezone in php based on client IP
Here i found the solution:
$user_ip = getenv('REMOTE_ADDR');
$geo = unserialize(file_get_contents("http://www.geoplugin.net/php.gp?ip=$user_ip"));
$country = $geo["geoplugin_countryName"];
$city = $geo["geoplugin_city"];
How to get timezone by IP
You can use GeoIP based services http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.geoip.php
Or
You can use online services that gives timezone of the IP that you supply in request
i.e.
$tags = get_meta_tags('http://www.geobytes.com/IpLocator.htm?GetLocation&template=php3.txt&IpAddress=94.55.180.139');
echo $tags['timezone'];
Getting visitors country from their IP
Try this simple PHP function.
<?php
function ip_info($ip = NULL, $purpose = "location", $deep_detect = TRUE) {
$output = NULL;
if (filter_var($ip, FILTER_VALIDATE_IP) === FALSE) {
$ip = $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"];
if ($deep_detect) {
if (filter_var(@$_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'], FILTER_VALIDATE_IP))
$ip = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
if (filter_var(@$_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'], FILTER_VALIDATE_IP))
$ip = $_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'];
}
}
$purpose = str_replace(array("name", "\n", "\t", " ", "-", "_"), NULL, strtolower(trim($purpose)));
$support = array("country", "countrycode", "state", "region", "city", "location", "address");
$continents = array(
"AF" => "Africa",
"AN" => "Antarctica",
"AS" => "Asia",
"EU" => "Europe",
"OC" => "Australia (Oceania)",
"NA" => "North America",
"SA" => "South America"
);
if (filter_var($ip, FILTER_VALIDATE_IP) && in_array($purpose, $support)) {
$ipdat = @json_decode(file_get_contents("http://www.geoplugin.net/json.gp?ip=" . $ip));
if (@strlen(trim($ipdat->geoplugin_countryCode)) == 2) {
switch ($purpose) {
case "location":
$output = array(
"city" => @$ipdat->geoplugin_city,
"state" => @$ipdat->geoplugin_regionName,
"country" => @$ipdat->geoplugin_countryName,
"country_code" => @$ipdat->geoplugin_countryCode,
"continent" => @$continents[strtoupper($ipdat->geoplugin_continentCode)],
"continent_code" => @$ipdat->geoplugin_continentCode
);
break;
case "address":
$address = array($ipdat->geoplugin_countryName);
if (@strlen($ipdat->geoplugin_regionName) >= 1)
$address[] = $ipdat->geoplugin_regionName;
if (@strlen($ipdat->geoplugin_city) >= 1)
$address[] = $ipdat->geoplugin_city;
$output = implode(", ", array_reverse($address));
break;
case "city":
$output = @$ipdat->geoplugin_city;
break;
case "state":
$output = @$ipdat->geoplugin_regionName;
break;
case "region":
$output = @$ipdat->geoplugin_regionName;
break;
case "country":
$output = @$ipdat->geoplugin_countryName;
break;
case "countrycode":
$output = @$ipdat->geoplugin_countryCode;
break;
}
}
}
return $output;
}
?>
How to use:
Example1: Get visitor IP address details
<?php
echo ip_info("Visitor", "Country"); // India
echo ip_info("Visitor", "Country Code"); // IN
echo ip_info("Visitor", "State"); // Andhra Pradesh
echo ip_info("Visitor", "City"); // Proddatur
echo ip_info("Visitor", "Address"); // Proddatur, Andhra Pradesh, India
print_r(ip_info("Visitor", "Location")); // Array ( [city] => Proddatur [state] => Andhra Pradesh [country] => India [country_code] => IN [continent] => Asia [continent_code] => AS )
?>
Example 2: Get details of any IP address. [Support IPV4 & IPV6]
<?php
echo ip_info("173.252.110.27", "Country"); // United States
echo ip_info("173.252.110.27", "Country Code"); // US
echo ip_info("173.252.110.27", "State"); // California
echo ip_info("173.252.110.27", "City"); // Menlo Park
echo ip_info("173.252.110.27", "Address"); // Menlo Park, California, United States
print_r(ip_info("173.252.110.27", "Location")); // Array ( [city] => Menlo Park [state] => California [country] => United States [country_code] => US [continent] => North America [continent_code] => NA )
?>
Timezone detection from Clients' IP Address
There are various ways of guessing the timezone. Using a service like in your question is one, although that code looks to me like it gets the timezone of the local computer, but I could be wrong. In any case, it doesn't seem reliable.
Another way is the jstimezonedetect javascript library.
