As far as I can see, phpclasses.org doesn't get where their users are staying, it just asks them. Now, if you want an *idea* of where your users live, what you could do is write a curl script to download information from http://www.networldmap.com/TryIt.htm?GetLocation, and then parse the response, but IP addresses are not exact indicators of someone's location.

Okay, but unless it works 100% of the time there is no point in using it.
