Plugin Help

Hi there,

I've subscribed to a GeoIP list so I can server different contents to members in different countries.

What is the correct syntax for the code below (or is it correct):-

if (isset($_COOKIE['GeoIP'])) {

include "geoip.php";
set_cookie("GeoIP", $countrycode, 3600);

}

and how do I get this to run as a plugin on every page.

Thanks in advance

Cleaned up your code

PHP Code:

if (isset($_COOKIE['GeoIP']))
{
   include_once('geoip.php');
   set_cookie('GeoIP', $countrycode, 3600);
} 


You would hook it at global_start.

Thanks Dismounted,

Hooked it at global_start and used vbsetcookie (coz set_cookie doesn't work).

Below is the code I used just incase it helps anyone else.

PHP Code:

if (!isset($_COOKIE['GeoIP'])) {

// put geo locating code here
include("geoip.php");
$countryCode = getCountryCode($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);

// set cookie
vbsetcookie("GeoIP",$countryCode,permanent);

} else {
$countryCode = $_COOKIE['GeoIP'];
}

Note that vbsetcookie() will add your cookie prefix to the cookie, so it actually should be:

PHP Code:

if (!isset($_COOKIE[COOKIE_PREFIX . 'GeoIP']))
{
   // put geo locating code here
   include('./geoip.php');
   $countryCode = getCountryCode($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);

   // set cookie
   vbsetcookie('GeoIP', $countryCode, permanent);
}
else
{
   $countryCode = $_COOKIE[COOKIE_PREFIX . 'GeoIP'];
}
