MaxMind DB Reader PHP API
Description
This is the PHP API for reading MaxMind DB files. MaxMind DB is a binary file format that stores data indexed by IP address subnets (IPv4 or IPv6).
Installation
We recommend installing this package with Composer.
Download Composer
To download Composer, run in the root directory of your project:
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
You should now have the file composer.phar
in your project directory.
Install Dependencies
Run in your project root:
php composer.phar require maxmind-db/reader:~1.0
You should now have the files composer.json
and composer.lock
as well as
the directory vendor
in your project directory. If you use a version control
system, composer.json
should be added to it.
Require Autoloader
After installing the dependencies, you need to require the Composer autoloader from your code:
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
Usage
Example
<?php
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
use MaxMind\Db\Reader;
$ipAddress = '24.24.24.24';
$databaseFile = 'GeoIP2-City.mmdb';
$reader = new Reader($databaseFile);
print_r($reader->get($ipAddress));
$reader->close();
Optional PHP C Extension
MaxMind provides an optional C extension that is a drop-in replacement for
MaxMind\Db\Reader
. In order to use this extension, you must install the
Reader API as described above and install the extension as described below. If
you are using an autoloader, no changes to your code should be necessary.
Installing Extension
First install libmaxminddb as described in its README.md file. After successfully installing libmaxmindb, run the following commands from the top-level directory of this distribution:
cd ext
phpize
./configure
make
make test
sudo make install
You then must load your extension. The recommend method is to add the
following to your php.ini
file:
extension=maxminddb.so
Note: You may need to install the PHP development package on your OS such as php5-dev for Debian-based systems or php-devel for RedHat/Fedora-based ones.
128-bit Integer Support
The MaxMind DB format includes 128-bit unsigned integer as a type. Although no MaxMind-distributed database currently makes use of this type, both the pure PHP reader and the C extension support this type. The pure PHP reader requires gmp or bcmath to read databases with 128-bit unsigned integers.
The integer is currently returned as a hexadecimal string (prefixed with "0x") by the C extension and a decimal string (no prefix) by the pure PHP reader. Any change to make the reader implementations always return either a hexadecimal or decimal representation of the integer will NOT be considered a breaking change.
Support
Please report all issues with this code using the [GitHub issue tracker] (https://github.com/maxmind/MaxMind-DB-Reader-php/issues).
If you are having an issue with a MaxMind service that is not specific to the client API, please see our support page.
Requirements
This library requires PHP 5.4 or greater. The pure PHP reader included with this library works and is tested with HHVM.
The GMP or BCMath extension may be required to read some databases using the pure PHP API.
Contributing
Patches and pull requests are encouraged. All code should follow the PSR-1 and PSR-2 style guidelines. Please include unit tests whenever possible.
Versioning
The MaxMind DB Reader PHP API uses Semantic Versioning.
