detect a users province/state
I'd like to detect what province/state my users are visiting from, so far I can only find ways to detect what country they're from. I know it's possible, does anyone have any solutions for this? Thanks in advance.

Re: detect a users province/state
Are you looking for a particular country or anywhere on earth?

Re: detect a users province/state
My question clearly stated that I was looking to detect states/provinces of visitors, so yes I'm looking for a place on earth, not sure what you're getting at.

He's asking whether you only care about tracking users in the US and Canada, or users everywhere on the planet.

You may be able to do it with a combination of timezone and IP address. And you might use Javascript to find some Geolocation information. Perhaps Google has a service that might do this kind of thing.
