I don't think "$geoip_country_by_name" takes an argument like that, but rather returns data based on the client's IP. At least it's not in the Wiki. See http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxHttpGeoIPModule. Even if it did it should never find one that since it's an internal IP. Further, you can only use that variable within nginx's configuration files, not within a PHP script.

Something like

[code]
if ($geoip_country_code = XX) {
do something;
}

if ($geoip_country_code = YY) {
do something else;
}
[/code]

It's possible that you can pass $geoip_country_code as a fastcgi_param and then use it within you PHP script(s) as necessary. I haven't tried it so YMMV/

FYI, I read this post and this technique works. For future reference for others. Just add to your configuration file:

fastcgi_param COUNTRY $geoip_country_name;
fastcgi_param CITY $geoip_city;
fastcgi_param REGION $geoip_region;

... and the PHP script has access to the GeoIP data. This significantly improved performance on my app versus the default PHP module for geoip.
