The Bakery Everything CakePHP

About six months ago I posted this on the snippets section of the CakePHP site. But, I felt this was more of a tutorial than a snippet and perfect for the The Bakery.

If you need as much information as you can get about a client's region, then maybe you need to get into the game with Maxmind's GeoIP database and my GeoIpComponent!

This article will cover how to access geoIP information from hostip.info. Hostip.info is a community-based project to geolocate IP addresses, making the database freely available but it needs you to put in your city to make it work.
