[php] getting country

how do i get the "nl" or other country codes out of the http_user_agent?

user_agent example:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; nl; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080404 Firefox/2.0.0.14

You can use GeoIP, the free edition. It can determine someones place by looking at the IP:

That is both less accurate and less userfriendly Daevius :wink:

As for your problem: the golden rule of PHP string manipulation rises once again. If you ever feel like you need to do some string manipulation, don't.

$_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'] already holds exactly that value, without any need to parse headers yourself :smile:

$_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'] isn't supported by my host.
