This is a great utility for tracking where your visitors are coming from. Sure there is a built-in function in your webserver to get the IP address of a webuser but that is almost no use if you can not tell what country it is from. Now, to utilize that IP number you simply pass that value to this function and it will convert the IP address to a country name. It can be embedded into your own website behind-the-scenes where you could run a statistics report of the demographics of your site visitors. Perfect for websites that cater to international customers!
