FEATURES
--------

[](#features)

### 1. Updating GeoIP2 databases via Composer

[](#1-updating-geoip2-databases-via-composer)

To update Geoip2 databases via Composer, you can set up an update call in your `composer.json`.

Each time the `composer update` command is invoked, the library will check for updates on the "maxmind.com" server and update the Geoip2 databases if necessary.

You can also update only `GeoIP2` databases without updating all project dependencies: `composer update danielsreichenbach/geoip2-update`.

### 2. Updating GeoIP2 databases from your PHP application

[](#2-updating-geoip2-databases-from-your-php-application)

You can use this option to update `GeoIP2` databases from your PHP project, or use `cron` on Linux, or use `Task Scheduler` on Windows.

### 3. Simple, cross-platform and reliable

[](#3-simple-cross-platform-and-reliable)

Does not depend on the operating system and can be used on hosting services and production servers.
