Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.geoip-country-code-by-name
--- 
"Returns the two letter ISO country code on success, or FALSE if the address cannot be found in the database. "



<?php echo geoip_country_code_by_name('74.115.0.24'); ?>

got result: 'A1'

expected result: something from ISO3166 perhaps 'US'

'A1' is actually more useful - it seems to be the code for an 'anonymous proxy'

are there other special codes?




Test script:
---------------
<?php echo geoip_country_code_by_name('74.115.0.24'); ?>

Expected result:
----------------
expected something from ISO3166 perhaps 'US'




Actual result:
--------------
got 'A1'

THIS RESULT IS NOT A BUG.

the documentation should be amended.
