How to determine user location in php and automatically jump

In the era of globalized Internet, establishing multi-language websites has become one of the needs of more and more enterprises. In response to the needs of users and language habits in different regions, establishing multiple sub-stations has become a relatively mature approach. For multiple sub-stations, allowing users to switch by themselves may affect the user experience, while using PHP to determine the user's location and automatically jump to the corresponding sub-station can improve the user experience.

This article will take common IP positioning methods as an example to introduce how to determine the user's location and automatically jump in PHP.

1. Get the user IP address

You can get the user IP address through $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], the specific code is as follows:

$user_ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

2. IP positioning

There are many third-party IP positioning interfaces on the market, such as Innocence IP library, Baidu API, etc. Taking Baidu API as an example, you can obtain user location by sending an HTTP request to the following URL:

https://api.map.baidu.com/location/ip?ak=YOUR_AK&ip=USER_IP&coor=bd09ll

where ak is your Baidu API authorization code, ip is the user IP address, and coor is the latitude and longitude coordinate system of the returned result. . You can obtain the geographical location information corresponding to the IP address by requesting the URL through cURL.

3. Determine the user’s location and jump

Suppose we create the following two sub-stations:

• https://www.example .com/cn/
• https://www.example.com/en/

When a user visits the main site, we can determine the user’s geographical location through PHP, and then It automatically jumps to the corresponding substation. Assuming that the user is located in China, we will jump to the Chinese subsite, otherwise jump to the English subsite. The specific code is as follows:

$user_ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

// 将用户IP地址发送至百度API进行定位
$url = "https://api.map.baidu.com/location/ip?ak=YOUR_AK&ip={$user_ip}&coor=bd09ll";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

// 解析返回结果，获取用户地理位置
$result = json_decode($response, true);
$city = $result['content']['address_detail']['city'];

// 如果用户位于中国，则跳转至中文分站，否则跳转至英文分站
if (strpos($city, '中国') !== false) {
  header("Location: https://www.example.com/cn/");
} else {
  header("Location: https://www.example.com/en/");
}

It should be noted that this method is not necessarily completely accurate. Because the IP address does not necessarily accurately reflect the user's true location, and the city where the user is located does not exactly match the country where they are located. Therefore, error handling needs to be done when applying this method, and the function of allowing users to select substations should also be provided.

Conclusion

This article introduces how to determine the user's location through PHP and automatically jump to the corresponding sub-station. Through IP positioning and sub-site jumps, users' access experience and usage efficiency can be improved. At the same time, factors such as data accuracy and user choice still need to be comprehensively considered in practical applications.
