You'll need to obtain the users IP address...easy to do:

If you're using PHP, for example:

$IP = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS ["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"];

$proxy = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS ["REMOTE_ADDR"];

$host = @gethostbyaddr($HTTP_SERVER_VARS ["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"]);

You'll get something that will look like this...

313.88.1.99 <--IP addy of user.

62.31.224.1 <--IP addy of server.

313-88-1-99.bas.cvx.blueyonder.co.uk <-- Users host addy.

Then you'll need to check their IP address against a database of IP's by country...you can download a pretty good one from

But anything better than this, you'll have to pay for.
