getting country stats

[dan glenn]

My client wants to see stats which tell him the number of hits he's getting
from different countries. I'm coding page hit count stats myself in PHP on
his site, which is simple enough, but haven't dealt with this issue before.
Can anyone give me the basic pointers and functions to use in collecting
this type of data from hits?

thanks

How about using this (also used by php.net):
http://ip-to-country.directi.com/

An alternative would be to do reverse lookup on the ip's and use the tld,
but the first method is probably better since the latter would not always be
possible..

Would resolve to .net domains in most cases.
