Php_eol; ' chn[root@~/wade/pecllearning/geoip]#/usr/local/php/bin/php-r ' Print_r (geoip_record_by_name ("php.net")); ' Array (    [Continent_code] = NA    [Country_code] = = [    country_code3] = USA    [country_name] = > States    [Region] = + CA    [City] = Fremont    [Postal_Code] = 94539    [latitude] = = 37.51549911499    [Longitude] = -121.8962020874    [Dma_code] = 807    [Area_code] + 510)

Note that because there is no GeoIPRegion.dat locally, the call to Geoip_region_by_name will be reported warning, as follows

[root@~/wade/pecllearning/geoip]#/usr/local/php/bin/php-r ' Print geoip_region_by_name ("220.181.112.244"); ' PHP Warning:  geoip_region_by_name (): Required database not available at/usr/share/geoip/geoipregion.dat.
