Can't get it to work with Laravel 5.1

Hi everyone,

I'm having some trouble in setting this up with Laravel 5.1 on a live server, I'm always getting the output below. I've already installed https://github.com/maxmind/MaxMind-DB-Reader-php but still can't get it to work properly.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Make saving to session optional

Would it be possible to make saving to session optional?

If you're trying to test by switching with a VPN or something there's no way to clear that data without clearing all cookies/sessions.

IPv6 compatible

Hi,
I'm upgrading my L4 project and i would like to use this package. However, i wonder if it supports ipv6 detection?

Thanks

IP returning not found, but maxmind code working

Tried using this, got it all installed and thought it was working ok. When I tried a near by IP address it came up as not found. So I tried the other plugin I had installed https://github.com/smalldogs/ip2country
noticed it recognized the IP address. So i went ahead and installed maxmind directly https://github.com/maxmind/GeoIP2-php to see what happens and even this identifies the correct country code, I have pointed both this plugin and maxmind to use the same mmdb file, so can't understand why maxmind finds it, yet here it does not. Yet it works on other IP's. Is there some other filtering taking place on this plugin that is excluding the IP in question?

Non-static method Torann\GeoIP\GeoIP::getLocation() should not be called statically, assuming $this from incompatible context [php 5.5.10]

Allow ipv6

I noticed that there is no Ipv6 support.
It's true that there is no city lookup support for ipv6 currently, but country/timezone/continent might still be useful to get.

I've added a pull request: #14

Support IP2Location LITE

@Torann

Do you have plan to support the IP2Location LITE database? It has the ZIP code information which is an advantage compare to GeoIP.

Will .dat file support ?

Nothing to publish for tag []

Hey ,
When I tried the following command. There is alway no config file generated.

Laravel version 5.1 :

php artisan vendor:publish
Nothing to publish for tag [].

php artisan vendor:publish --provider=Torann\GeoIP\GeoIPServiceProvider --tag=config
Nothing to publish for tag [config].

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Torann\GeoIP\GeoIPServiceProvider" --force
Nothing to publish for tag [].

When fetching maxmind record, store timeZone @ location array

"lon" => $record->location->longitude,
"timezone" => $record->location->timeZone,

Laravel 5 support?

Is there any plan to support Laravel 5?

Wrong location

Shortly:
`>>> \GeoIP::getLocation('2.54.143.99');
=> [
"ip" => "127.0.0.0",
"isoCode" => "US",
"country" => "United States",
"city" => "New Haven",
"state" => "CT",
"postal_code" => "06510",
"lat" => 41.31,
"lon" => -72.92,
"timezone" => "America/New_York",
"continent" => "NA",
"default" => true,
]

`
Returns "default" location

While another script (not Laravel)
require "geoip-maxmind/geoipcity.inc.php"; //require "geoip-maxmind/geoipregionvars.php"; $gi = geoip_open("geoip-maxmind/1_GeoLiteCity.dat", GEOIP_STANDARD); $gr = geoip_record_by_addr($gi, $IP); if(!empty($gr->city)) { $gr->country_name = utf8_encode($gr->country_name); $gr->city = utf8_encode($gr->city); echo "{$gr->city}, {$gr->country_name}\n"; } elseif(!empty($gr->country_name)) { $gr->country_name = utf8_encode($gr->country_name); echo "{$gr->country_name}\n"; }
Returns Israel (which is correct).

Call to undefined function Torann\GeoIP\gzopen()

Hi there.
I have this issue on 32-bit Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS and PHP 5.5.9-1ubuntu4.11 (built: Jul 2 2015 15:17:32) with command php artisan geoip:update

Error Output: PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function Torann\GeoIP\gzopen() in vendor/torann/geoip/src/Torann/GeoIP/GeoIPUpdater.php on line 55

When i change gzopen() to gzopen64() it works fine.

Update doesn't work with Paid DB

Running a geoip:update when using the paid update URL doesn't work. It reports the update was successful, but when it first gets accessed, it returns: The MaxMind DB file's search tree is corrupt. I manually downloaded it from the URL, and placed in the correct spot, and all was well. I'm using this url for the update url:

https://download.maxmind.com/app/geoip_download?edition_id=GeoIP2-City&date=20160216&suffix=tar.gz&license_key=MYLICENSEKEYHERE

I'm guessing it has something to do with the redirects, but let me know if I can be of more help here.

Anonymous IP returning everything NULL

ran across an IP address which returned no country code neither a default location. After investigation I found out why. On maxmind the IP is down as a anonymous IP address without a geoname_id code. Hence the IP a default location was not returned as the IP was found in the database but with no geo code. Hence everything returned was null instead of default location or an identifier for anonymous IP.

Could you advise on the L4 version what to add to take these anonymous IP's into account instead of returning everything NULL

Json encoding of Torann\GeoIP\Location

Json encoding of Torann\GeoIP\Location returns empty string.
Expected: json encoded attributes.

Double ip address not returning proper location

Hello
After much debug I discovered that my server is returning a double ip address for the remote ip. The remote ip looks like xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy and the resulting location is returned with default => 1

The double IP is coming from an apache config involving reverse proxy and I have no control over it. Perhaps the package could account for it and just take the first ip?

Making a Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich

Just because I am an experienced developer that is now attempting to learn the Laravel coding style... I though I would drop a quick line in regards to the documentation. It probably seems painfully obvious to a lot of people who have been developing with Laravel over the years, however, installing the repo and following the instructions in the readme file was giving me a class not found error. Then I noticed that the error was because Laravel was attempting to look for a GeoIP controller because I had failed to "use GeoIP;" at the top of my controller definition.

So, just for the sake of "idiot-proofing" some things and being clear, might want to explicitly add that to the installation instructions.

Class 'Torann\GeoIP\Client' not found error.

Hi,

Have followed the installation instructions and all works well. It stops working when I change type to web_service in the config file. I'm using the correct user id and license key. I've attached a screenshot of the error I can't understand what I'm doing wrong. Thanks in advance!

Always returning NULL (DEFAULT)

Laravel 5.2 Latest

"geoip2/geoip2": "^2.4",
"torann/geoip": "^1.0"

Non-static method Torann\GeoIP\GeoIP::getLocation() should not be called statically, assuming $this from incompatible context

Attempted to use this several different ways. Do I need to sign up for an external account in order to use this? Not very clear from the documentation - not sure if maxmind is optional or required. I also see that another issue was posted with the same error.

Here is my test:

// Routes.php
use Torann\GeoIP\GeoIP;
Route::get('geoip', function() {
    $location = GeoIP::getLocation();
});

Allow caching

Allow caching via the built-in Laravel cache, with options for how long to store.

Support MaxMind country database

It would be great if this extension would support the usage of only the MaxMind country database as well (also for the Laravel 4 version), since the commercial version of it is much cheaper than the city database.

Log files fill up with AddressNotFoundException on private IPv6 addresses

Cross-references: maxmind/GeoIP2-php#74

Error: The address ::1 is not in the database.

I haven't seen any from 127.0.0.1 (IPv4), but GeoIP2 fills up logs very quickly with the above error and stack trace when the error is thrown (discovered by rap2hpoutre/laravel-log-viewer) at https://github.com/maxmind/GeoIP2-php/blob/master/src/Database/Reader.php#L220-L224

Consider adding the following (or a similar implementation) to skip database check if the IP is private:

function is_private_IP($ip) {
    return filter_var($ip, FILTER_VALIDATE_IP, FILTER_FLAG_IPV4 | FILTER_FLAG_NO_PRIV_RANGE |  FILTER_FLAG_NO_RES_RANGE);
}

IP Mapping updates

Just an inquiry. Once we've downloaded the database from the maxmind. How can we ensure that data in there are up to date? Thanks!

Can you also add on the docs on the workaround on updating the ip mappings also?

Update & Config

Hi,

Just want to let you know I made some composer update these past few days and visibly you updated your package (I checked the commits history).

My app is tied with ~0.2 and after the update it started to stop working...
Undefined index: database_path

I knew it has something to do with the config...
When running php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Torann\GeoIP\GeoIPServiceProvider" it said Publishing Complete! (I had already your config published).

I had to manually delete the config file then re-run php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Torann\GeoIP\GeoIPServiceProvider" to make it works.

Is that normal?

(Very cool the php artisan geoip:update)

Use Request facade instead of $_SERVER

Hello,
I've noticed that using GeoIP::getLocation() without parameters return the default location if the web server sits behind a proxy.
If I use\GeoIP::getLocation(Request::ip() instead I get the right result. Request is Illuminate\Support\Facades\Request.
I suppose it works fine because internally Request object checks for X-Real-IP X-Forwarded-For and other stuff like this before returning ips.

Unresolvable dependency resolving ... in class Torann\GeoIP\GeoIP

Hi,

After upgrading to 1.0.2 (btw, nice changes so far to see), I'm getting this error during tests:

Unresolvable dependency resolving [Parameter #0 [ <required> array $config ]] in class Torann\GeoIP\GeoIP

I've followed the upgrade guide, however I'm pretty sure I'm missing something.

I'm running Laravel 5.2 and you may find the current state of my project (broken) in this branch

Thanks in advance for your support!

When CACHE_DRIVER=file => "This cache store does not support tagging"

Hi,

When "CACHE_DRIVER=file" is receive this error:
BadMethodCallException in Repository.php line 391: This cache store does not support tagging. in Repository.php line 391 at Repository->tags(array('torann-geoip-location')) in CacheManager.php line 301 at CacheManager->__call('tags', array(array('torann-geoip-location'))) in Cache.php line 32 at Cache->__construct(object(CacheManager), array('torann-geoip-location'), '30') in GeoIP.php line 91

Unfortunatly, I must configure my cache this way to make it work:
CACHE_DRIVER=array

FYI, I'm upgrading from 0.2 to 1.0. Was working with "CACHE_DRIVER=file"

Any ideas?

Config to set the default location

It would be nice if we could have config option to specify the default location that it falls-back to.
Otherwise something to indicate that the location couldn't be determined, would do fine as well, like:

array (
    "ip"           => "127.0.0.0",
    "isoCode"      => "",
    "country"      => "",
    "city"         => "",
    "state"        => "",
    "postal_code"  => "",
    "lat"          => null,
    "lon"          => null
);

Error handling for GeoIp2\Exception\AddressNotFoundException

I noticed that when an IP is not in the maxmind database an error is thrown "GeoIp2\Exception\AddressNotFoundException".

Perhaps it's best to catch and log it directly?
