# PHP GeoIP module

### GeoIP

**As of 03.01.2022**, the GeoIP PHP module is not available from the Zone virtual server. The GeoIP database is over 4 years old and can no longer sufficiently locate IP addresses.

There is more information on GeoIP legacy database here: <https://blog.maxmind.com/2020/06/01/retirement-of-geoip-legacy-downloadable-databases-in-may-2022/>

### MaxMind GeoIP2

The GeoIP functionality will be replaced by a new module called MaxMind GeoIP2 API, the implementation of which can be found at https://maxmind.github.io/GeoIP2-php/.
