Process MaxMind Countries, Regions and Cities Files: Extract MaxMind geographic data into a database

This class can extract MaxMind geographic data into a database.

It can connect to a SQLite or MySQL database and create tables to store information of countries, regions and cities.

The class can read geographic data files from MaxMind and import the data into the created tables for use of applications that need to lookup the imported data.
This recommendation solves the problem.
This recommendation does not solve the problem.

No online service requirement means that you have to download and store the information locally. This is the most recent package I was able to find on here that uses a free data set available from maxMind. There is a newer version of the data set available and I do not know if this package is compatible with it or not, however the data set used by this package does still seem to be available as well.

    As additional information: Also based on Maxminds database are the solutions - PECL Geoip (a php module) - mod_geoip (a webserver module for Apache httpd; something similiar exists for Nginx too)

    I used Maxmind's GeoLite2 Country database recently. Its a good option for getting the country code from an ip. Its free. They also provide an update script for the database that you can run as a cron job.
