Off the top of my head, I can think of two un-tested theoretical solutions:

If I understood you correct, you want to know which country a visitor is coming from?

If yes; then
1. Examine the Accept-Language HTTP header being sent by the visitors browsers, then do a simple comparison. The limitations of this are obvious, lots of countries will send the EN header.
2. Use the MaxMind GeIP web service @ $20 for 200,000 requests.

You may also be interested to know that there are some alternatives to MaxMind, as stated here.

Hi Guys,

I need a little help with some PHP Code. There are several parts of my website where I want to include a particular PHP file depending on the location you access it from. For example, for the contacts information I have three different PHP files (kenya.php, nigeria.php, uk.php) I want to display specific contact information on my <div id="contacts"> depending on the location you access the website from. Any help on this? The current website is using another GeoLocation script that ade me design three different websites. Problem is, if you are accessing it from a different location, it will load the default website first then redirect you to the website for your location.

Can anyone help me with this please?
