So the person from this country: http://www.calcudoku.org/en/2012-03-05/5/fl/ does not have a national flag to show. I just had a 404 error when trying to access the URL. |

After the "fl/" there should have been a 2 letter country code. Whenever someone accesses the site, and their IP is not in my "IP to country" database, it does an automatic lookup at ip2location.com _but_ I'm limited to 20 such lookups a day, so presumably those were used up already..

Try http://api.hostip.info/get_html.php where there are unlimited lookups which return ip address, country code and country name. And the same site has all the flags at http://api.hostip.info/images/flags/CC.gif where CC is the country code. They are a bit large but look OK when reduced in size. |

I had to switch back to ip2location.com, there were many IP addresses for which hostip.info returned "unknown", and ip2location.com had all the info... Patrick |

Sorry about that. I had no way to test the results for many addresses so assumed it worked for most. I guess it is free so you can't expect too much. If you are maintaining addresses in a database then try http://software77.net where you can download a database which is updated daily as far as I can tell. Over 4 billion addresses which probably matches the ip2location database. And this one is free. Unfortunately they don't offer an AJAX service. |
