Fatal error call to undefined function geoip_open()

Question

I have installed the geoip for getting the address based on the remote_server ip in php. I have installed the Geoip package in my system and also i have installed the php5-geoip php extension. But while running the following script it is showing the fatal error.

geoip_open("GeoIP.dat",GEOIP_STANDARD);

the error is

Fatal error: Call to undefined function geoip_open()

Did you restart your httpd server after the installation of php5-geoip ? — jap1968, Dec 21 '12 at 06:55
Not sure what extension you are using, but if it's [**this one**](http://php.net/manual/en/ref.geoip.php) I don't think there is an geoip_open() function ? — adeneo, Dec 21 '12 at 06:56
