In addition to scanning the results of http://php.net/gethostbyaddr
I believe there *ARE* records of who owns what IP ranges, and you could
*MAYBE* access them with Whois, SNMP, and/or other tools to make an educated
guess.
Nothing will be 100% accurate, however.
Why do you think you need this?...
If it's language, you can use the language-negotiation or
content-negotiation or whatever it is, but most users don't set their
browser up properly in the first place, so it's not real useful... You're
pretty much stuck with the stupid/cute++ little flags interface :-)
++ Stupid or cute depends on how many times you've seen it :-)
