Example


<?php


require_once('KnowMyUser.class.php');


//DATABASE DETAILS 


//SET HOSTNAME


$hostname = "localhost";    





//MYSQL USERNAME


$username ="root";    





//MYSQL PASSWORD


$password="";





//MYSQL DATABASE NAME


$database="cms";


//DATABASE CONNECTION


try


{


$bdd=new PDO('mysql:host='.$hostname.';dbname='.$database,$username,$password,array(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE=> PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION));





}


catch(Exception $e)


{


    die('Erreur:'.$e->getMessage());


}


// DATABASE CONNECTION CODE END








/*


 First Way : you can specify all your setting yourself by creating an instance


 yourself that will then have all the methods from VSIPD and MapBuilder


*/








$x=new KnowMyUser('66.84.41.158');//specify a specific IP address to work


echo $x->buffered_staticmap("9",'640x200',$bdd);//a way to load a buffered image as suggested by someone


// $x->GetjustBasics_Map($bdd);//this is a short cut method to load a dynamic map but you can set every thing this way:








/*


$x=new KnowMyUser(); //get user IP to work


$map=$this->seehim_onMap();//see this method statement to know the parameters needed here we use the defaults





//from here you can set yourself your map details as specified in the reference.txt file or in the numerous examples 


//of the MapBuilder class package directory.An example could be from there :








// Set the default map type.


$map->setMapTypeId(MapBuilder::MAP_TYPE_ID_ROADMAP);





// Set width and height of the map.


$map->setSize(650, 450);





// Set default zoom level.


$map->setZoom(17);





// Set minimum and maximum zoom levels.


$map->setMinZoom(10);


$map->setMaxZoom(19);





// Disable mouse scroll wheel.


$map->setScrollwheel(false);





// Make the map draggable.


$map->setDraggable(true);





// Enable zooming by double click.


$map->setDisableDoubleClickZoom(false);





// Disable all on-map controls.


$map->setDisableDefaultUI(true);





// Display the map.


$map->show();





*/











/*


second way: use a short cut with predefined map settings 


*/





KnowMyUser::Fastway('66.84.41.158',$bdd);// to know a specific ip location


// KnowMyUser::Fastway(null,$bdd);//to know the client IP address or even without database storage:


// KnowMyUser::Fastway();//to know the client IP address  even without database storage


?>

Details

This package allows the user to use these three packages: 

PHP-IP:   https://www.phpclasses.org/package/10484-PHP-Get-the-real-user-IP-address-even-behind-proxies.html, 

MapBuilder:   https://www.phpclasses.org/package/7600-PHP-Display-maps-using-Google-Maps-API-v3.html and 

Very simple IP details :   https://www.phpclasses.org/package/10436-PHP-Get-IP-address-location-and-Google-Maps-image.html,

to find users location or specific IP location details and show the location on a google static or interactive map.
The package just act as the glue that join the three packages so user need to download them separately to know
more about all the available methods and how to optimally take advantage of the package.

Please ,be sure to be patient while example file is loading google interactive map because it takes some time.

Also be sure to let the browser development tools open to know the progress while testing.

Finally you may got an API KEY issue while testing on localhost be sure to test it in this case online or try to get your own
API KEY by following the directives in the main class source.

For a basic how to use example see the file testKnowMyuser.php and read  carefully the comments lines.
For bug reporting,feedback and suggestion use this package's forum on other three package forums or 
contact me at leizmo@gmail.com;
