Version: 1.00  24-Nov-2008 - First release

Version: 1.50  06-Dec-2008 - added 'include mode' option for using in your own site template (see readme.txt)
- added advanced options and api for using remote lookup of ip data 
If you want to use ip-to-country information inside an application like a shopping cart or guest book.
You can query the ip-to-country.php for a lookup remotely and include the results in your application.
This method is flexible because it does not require direct mysql access to the ip-lookup database.
If I was going to use ip-lookups in several applications, 
I would use this method rather than having each application connect to mysql
(see advanced-uses folder inside zip file)
