The code snippet below is a demo in how to redirect users to sub sites based on their country IP location.
On this code I am using CloudFlare geo location API – the code is not perfect but could be a good starting point 🙂
// collect the current state from the URL and CloudFlare
$user_country_code = strtolower($_SERVER["HTTP_CF_IPCOUNTRY"]);
$site_subdomain = strtolower(array_shift(explode(".",$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'])));
if ( $user_country_code == $site_subdomain ) {
// this is already using the country-code mapped version
// do nothing
} else {
switch($user_country_code) { // check if it's a country we currently support
case 'et';
case 'us';
case 'gb';
// yes - redirect to the specific subdomain
header( 'Location: http://'.$user_country_code.'.example.com');
break;
default;
// no - redirect to www if not already there
if ( 'www' == $site_subdomain ) {
// already at www!
// do nothing
} else {
// redirect to www
header( 'Location: http://www.example.com');
break;
}
}
}
Thank you for seeing my code snippet and fell free to share and comment 🙂 . Do you have a code snippet and you want to see it publish on my site ? I will be more than happy to do it please send me a message, (here)
