There any function to work with IP to be able to know what country a visitor comes?
Thanks

You can probably use a service like http://www.hostip.info to grab the data via API

But there was any class that could use CI for managing IP without using http://www.hostip.info/

Well realistically what is needed is a super large database to query the IP block against the assigned ARP countries or something like that - so technically the requirements would be the database and then just use the regular db class.

Google is your friend :coolsmile:
I have used this database in the past and it works pretty good - it's frequently updated...

ip2nation.com provides a MySQL database and sample PHP scripts that you can intergrate with your CI program. It's free and it works well for me.
