Maxmind GeoIp Library

To install this library please follow the next steps:

First add the dependencie to your composer.json file:

"require": {
    ...
    "maxmind/geoip": "dev-master"
},

Then install the bundle with the command:

php composer update

Enable the bundle in your application kernel:

<?php
// app/AppKernel.php

public function registerBundles()
{
    $bundles = array(
        // ...
        new Maxmind\Bundle\GeoipBundle\MaxmindGeoipBundle(),
    );
}

Now the library is installed.

To get the maxmind data source file (in '.dat' format), you can choose between one of the two following purposed methods:

You can go on the maxmind free download data page: http://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geolite And get the needed version. Then you have to unzip the downloaded file in the data directory located in 'vendor/maxmind/geoip/data'.

Or you can simply execute this command:

php app/console maxmind:geoip:update-data %url-data-source%

Replace %url-data-source% with the url of the needed data source. ex: http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCity.dat.gz

If you want to use your data file in another directory, you can configure it on app\config\config.yml

# app/config/config.yml
maxmind_geoip:
	data_file_path: "%kernel.root_dir%/../web/GeoIPCity.dat"

Now can use the Maxmind GeoIp Library everywhere in your Symfony2 application.
