  $ip = $_SESSION['ip'];
  $try1 = "http://ipinfodb.com/ip_query.php?ip=".$ip."&output=xml";

  $XML = @simplexml_load_file($try1,NULL,TRUE);

  if($XML->City=="") { $loc = "Localhost / Unknown"; }
  else { $loc = $XML->City.", ".$XML->RegionName.", ".$XML->CountryName; }
  $_SESSION['loc'] = $loc;
