I got unwanted digits in echo

Question

I have used this code

$ip =  change_ipv4_ipv6($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
$giasn = geoip_open("GeoIPASNumv6.dat", GEOIP_STANDARD);
$asn = geoip_name_by_addr_v6($giasn, $ip);
geoip_close($giasn);

after this code i echo record like this

echo 'Shell';

It gives result like this

1111111111111111111Shell

When i remove geopip code then it shows result like below

Shell

I want to get ride of these Ones. Any advice

thanks

Answer 1

It's likely that somewhere in one of those functions a 1 is being printed.

Search for print/echo in the geoip functions, it's a stab in the dark, but I'd like to guess that it is echoing a boolean.

When you said "When i remove geopip code then it shows result like belo"w

This should give you a clue that the echo is coming from the geoip code, try commenting out the functions one by one to figure out which function is causing it.

Answer 2

I tested this with the latest version of the GeoIP from GitHub and I could not reproduce it. I would recommend upgrading your version of the library.

Answer 3

These ones certainly get echoed somewhere else in the code. Try to include an unmodified copy of the geoip library, or try to find the exact place in your code where they get echoed.

Answer 4

You can suppress output from geoip function by using ob_start() and ob_end_clean():

ob_start();
$ip =  change_ipv4_ipv6($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
$giasn = geoip_open("GeoIPASNumv6.dat", GEOIP_STANDARD);
$asn = geoip_name_by_addr_v6($giasn, $ip);
geoip_close($giasn);
ob_end_clean();

echo 'Shell';
