Geo-targeting
http://www.phpfive.net/article42.htm
Geo-targeting is commonly used to localize content such as adverts and for statistical purposes. This process is also known as localization.
The problem with Internet based geo-targeting is that it tends to be a rather inprecise affair and can not be relied upon to be 100% accurate. In order to obtain a web site's visitors geographical location. We first need to obtain a visitors IP address and then compare this address to a database of known (county specific) IP ranges. However, the accuracy and performace of many of the freely available SQL database or CSV based solutions tends to be extremely poor.
