Newbie: Problem with Geolocater

[eluser]Private Dancer[/eluser]
Hi forums.

I'm very new with CI and i get a problem. I try to use the Geolocater like described here => http://codeigniter.com/wiki/Geo_Locater/

I set up the DB and also the library like the wiki. I then added the following code to my controller:

Code:

$this->load->library('geolocater');
        $data['geo'] = $this->geolocater->getlocation('<myip>', TRUE);
        
        $this->load->view('start_view', $data);

And the following in the view:

Code:

<?php echo $geo;?>

The only output i then have is "Array" with some whitespace. I think i do a mistake in the controller. I probed a lot. But nothing works. Hope you can help.

try

Code:

print_r($geo);

in your view, what does that tell you?

[edit] just looked at the wiki, $geo is an array containing 'country' and 'city' keys. you need to put

Code:

echo $geo['country'];

in your view

Ok, the first problem was that the script cant gather any results with my ip. I tried with Googles:

Code:

print_r($geo);

Code:

Array ( [0] => stdClass Object ( [country] => UNITED STATES [city] => PARIS, IL ) )

But when i try now with:

Code:

echo $geo['country'];

It means "Undefined Index"

[eluser]GSV Sleeper Service[/eluser]
my mistake, it returns an object, not an array. try this

Code:

echo $geo->country;

Wont work. Results in:

Code:

Trying to get property of non-object

The object is the first key of the array, so this should work:

Code:

echo $geo[0]->country;

Ok, this works and i think i get the point now.

Thank you guys.
