Am I wrong or is not only php5 needed, but also allow_url_fopen ? I tried this script and it fails like the one I created, and I guess it’s because my server is not allowed to open a file from a different server (security reasons).

really, not even a little bit of clue? geolocation technologies are ass, even if you pay for them. you can grab whois info and grep them yourself for free if you really think you need it. you don’t, though.

google.load(’jquery’, ‘1.3′);
google.load(’maps’, ‘2′);
google.setOnLoadCallback(function(){

var map = new google.maps.Map2(document.getElementById(”map_canvas”));
var loc = new google.maps.LatLng(google.loader.ClientLocation.latitude, google.loader.ClientLocation.longitude);
map.setCenter(loc, 13);
map.openInfoWindow(loc, document.createTextNode(”You are here”));
map.addControl(new google.maps.SmallMapControl());
map.addControl(new google.maps.MapTypeControl());
});

All you need is a div with the id of map_canvas. This will work on localhost, but be aware that if you use it online, you will need a google api key.
