How to make geoip_country_name_by_name() work?

Question

I want to collect country name of an user who logined to my site. So i used

geoip_country_name_by_name() php function for this purpose.

But i got a fatal error as :

Fatal error: Call to undefined function geoip_country_name_by_name()

How can i avoid this error ?

Is there any other method to get country name using php?

Can someone help me please?

Are you sure the GeoIP module is installed? – dpk2442 May 30 '12 at 18:25 — dpk2442, May 30 '12 at 18:25
Do you have geoip installed? It's not a base library. – aynber May 30 '12 at 18:25 — aynber, May 30 '12 at 18:25

Sounds like the extension is not installed on your computer. Check out this link, it is a PECL extension.
