Target Country by IP Address - Geo-targeting Traffic and Redirection software

Target Country by IP Addressv2.01 - advanced redirection

Install step by step:

1. Edit cr/cr.php and modify it as described there.
2. Add the next line at the beginning of EVERY PAGE YOU NEED TO REDIRECT VISITORS:

   <?PHP $anp_path="cr/"; include($anp_path."cr.php"); ?>

   or (if cr/ directory is a level up)

   <?PHP $anp_path="../cr/"; include($anp_path."cr.php");?>

3. If you use MySql, load cr/cr_free.sql into your mysql server:

   mysql -u [username] -p

   mysql>use [your database]

   mysql>source [path to/]anp_ip2country.sql

4. If you want a different set of redirection rules in other pages of your website,you could use the same databases and the same script.
   All you can make a copy of _re_rules.dat -> new_re_rules.dat,edit new_re_rules.dat,just change the REDIRECTION RULES. Then include it in your files with:
   < ?php $re_rules = "new_re_rules.dat"; $anp_path="cr/"; include($anp_path."cr.php"); ?>

3.Testing and debuging Target Country by IP Address

• To test and debug you need to set in cr/cr.php the constant _DEBUG_MODE to 1: define("_DEBUG_MODE","1") then poin your browser to http://yoursite.com/demo.php.
• Now play with the configuration, modify redirection rules.
• When you are satisfied, set _DEBUG_MODE to 2, In order to test how cookies / session vars are saved.
• When it`s ok set _DEBUG_MODE to 0.

4. Useful hints

• If you want to use Target Country by IP Address just to detect the country of your visitor and to get the country details in an array, edit cr/cur_re_rules.dat comment out all REDIRECTION RULES and make blank the default redirect and reject links ( =""; ).
  Then edit demo.php to see how you can use the country details of your visitor.
  Add the next line:
  <?php include($anp_path."countries.php"); $anp_cinfo=get_cinfo($anp_country_code);?>
  This fields can be used in your scripts:
  $anp_cinfo["code"] $anp_cinfo["name"] $anp_cinfo["region"] $anp_cinfo["capital"] $anp_cinfo["currency"] $rv_cinfo["flag_path"] ;
  The flag image can be generated like this: <img src="<?php echo $rv_cinfo["flag_path"]; ?>" alt=""border="0">
• Blocks certain IP address's from your site and redirects the user to a blocked page.
  You have to set :$bCheckBlocked = true; $anp_blocked_reject_link= an invalid url.
  Then Edit blocked_ips.dat,add the IP addresses or IP address ranges you want to block. Exemple:
  213.64.128.65
  213.64.108.50;213.64.148.13
• If you want to use Target Country by IP Address to safely reject all visitors from country XX and YY and to accept all the other visitors.
  you must set :
  $anp_default_reject_link=""; $anp_default_redirect_link=""; , $anp_url_save_method="session";
  edit the Redirection Rules file(cur_re_rules.dat), for country XX uncomment the line and place an invalid url for it (XX=error.php) . Do the same for YY.
• If you need to display language specific pages for Italy and German: $rv_default_reject_link=""; $rv_default_redirect_link=""; edit the Redirection Rules file(cur_re_rules.dat), for country IT uncomment the line, as redirection rule set IT=yourpage_en.htm; Do the same for DE;
• Finally, if you want to be 99% sure that the IP -> Country conversion is realistic, you have to use the best database on the market, database provided by us at /ip2location
