• Hi!

    What I need to know is if I can redirect a visitor based on his country.

    I mean, I know I can do that with a php file, calling the GeoIp database, but to do it I have to put it on my domain root and mysite.com becames a redirection script to mysite.com/uk and mysite.com/us, etc.

    Here′s the php example script:

    <?php
    
    require_once("geoip/geoip.inc");
    
    $gi = geoip_open("geoip/GeoIP.dat",GEOIP_STANDARD);
    
    $country_code = geoip_country_code_by_addr($gi, $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
    
    geoip_close($gi);
    
    if($country_code == 'fr')
    {
     header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
     header('Location: https://mysite.com/fr/');
    }
    else
    {
     header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
     header('Location: https://mysite.com/en/');
    }
    ?>

    What I want is to know if it′s possible to redirect using .htaccess or any other method, or just with the php method I refered above.

    Because what I want is something like this:

    visitors click on a link to mysite.com and if it is US citizen nothing happens and he enter on mysite.com, if it′s French or Brazilian, enter on mysite.com/international/

    Besides that, if possible, I also want this:

    visitor click on a link to mysite.com/hosting/ and if it is a US citizen nothing happens and he enter on mysite.com/hosting/, if it′s French or Brazilian, enter on mysite.com/hosting/international/

    Conclusion:

    for every page on my site, I want to have a “mirror” version (with a no index tag), just with different banners and different small portions of text for where I want to redirect all my international traffic.

    If anyone could help me I would be very appreciated.
