redirect domain based on country - menilanjan - 10-24-2018
I am using hmvc in ci.How will I redirect domain based on country code?
I have modified index.php file and added checking whether this ip from a particular country then page is redirected to particular domain. Is it good practise in CI? or there is any other option. please suggest.

There's not really any advantage I can think of to run this logic server-side.
I would just use javascript/jquery and then you just use an API to resolve the visitor country code by IP and redirect to the corresponding URL :
Code:
$.getJSON("http://api.db-ip.com/v2/free/self").then(function(addrInfo) {
if (addrInfo.countryCode== "US") {
document.location = "http://us.example.com";
} else if (...) {
// handle other cases
} else {
document.location = "http://example.com";
}
});Should you still want a server-side api call, here is a PHP library for the demonstrated api: https://github.com/dbip/api-client
