I've got this function in my Wordpress theme directory:
function variable($value) {
$country_code = '';
require_once("geoip.inc");
$gi = geoip_open(dirname(__FILE__)."/GeoIP.dat",GEOIP_STANDARD);
$country_code = geoip_country_code_by_addr($gi, $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
geoip_close($gi);
switch ($value) {
case 'prem_no':
if ($country_code == 'US') { $prem_no = '888-888-8888'; }
elseif ($country_code == 'AU') { $prem_no = '1900 000 000'; }
else { $prem_no = '0906 636 4355'; }
return $prem_no;
break;
case 'prem_rate':
if ($country_code == 'US') { $prem_rate = '$3.50'; }
elseif ($country_code == 'AUS') { $prem_rate = '$3.96'; }
else { $prem_rate = '£1.53'; }
return $prem_rate;
break;
case 'local_no':
if ($country_code == 'US') { $local_no = '755-555-5555'; }
elseif ($country_code == 'AUS') { $local_no = '1800 000 000'; }
else { $local_no = '0207 111 6311'; }
return $local_no;
break;
case 'sms_no':
if($country_code == 'AUS') { $sms_no = '1977 1977'; }
else { $sms_no = '78887'; }
return $sms_no;
break;
case 'sms_rate':
if($country_code == 'AUS') { $sms_rate = '25c'; }
else { $sms_rate = '£1.50'; }
return $sms_rate;
break;
case 'helpline':
if($country_code == 'US') { $helpline = '700-777-7777'; }
elseif ($country_code == 'AUS') { $helpline = '1700 000 000'; }
else { $helpline = '0207 111 6210'; }
return $helpline;
break;
default:
break;
}
}
This works fine for normal pages, and loads all the files listed above, and the switch works fine. However, when I go to view the blog articles I just get a blank page with the error message:
Warning: fopen(GeoIP.dat): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\wamp\www\clairvoyant\wp-content\themes\clairvoyant\geoip.inc on line 314
and I can't work out why it would be different for normal pages and blog pages.
I know there are individual PHP files, but they all use the same functions file, right?
It's the GeoIP.dat it can't find, and it was doing this before last week before I added dirname(FILE) just before the filename.
The only difference I can think of, is my permalinks have a custom structure of /blog/%postname% - could the /blog be affecting the path somehow?
Any ideas as to why it's not working as expected just on blog pages?
UPDATE:
This is relevant function inside geoip.inc:
function geoip_open($filename, $flags) {
$gi = new GeoIP;
$gi->flags = $flags;
if ($gi->flags & GEOIP_SHARED_MEMORY) {
$gi->shmid = @shmop_open (GEOIP_SHM_KEY, "a", 0, 0);
} else {
$gi->filehandle = fopen($filename,"rb") or die( "Oops! Can not open $filename
" );
if ($gi->flags & GEOIP_MEMORY_CACHE) {
$s_array = fstat($gi->filehandle);
$gi->memory_buffer = fread($gi->filehandle, $s_array['size']);
}
}
$gi = _setup_segments($gi);
return $gi;
}
BUMP: Can anyone throw some light on this? Wordpress seems to be stripping the path of $filename when viewing blog pages. When viewing normal pages, the full path is included.
