How to know if a browser user is from Switzerland in PHP?

Question

Is there a way to determine whether a user has set its locale to Switzerland? I tried

$_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE']

but this is only giving me "de" as locale. Is there another way or maybe I did something wrong? Is there a free service for IP checks maybe?

You can use this php class to get the users location in php.

Once you have the files you can use this code:

<?php 
/*

 * Author: khoaofgod@yahoo.com 
 * Any bugs, question, please visit our forum at http://www.codehelper.io 
 */ 

// Required Libraries 
require_once("ip.codehelper.io.php"); 
require_once("php_fast_cache.php"); 

// New Class 
$_ip = new ip_codehelper(); 

// Detect Real IP Address & Location 
$real_client_ip_address = $_ip->getRealIP(); 
$visitor_location = $_ip->getLocation($real_client_ip_address); 

// Output result 
echo $visitor_location['Country']."<br>"; 
echo "<pre>"; 
print_r($visitor_location);
