The geoip_region_name_by_code function will return the region
name corresponding to a country and region code combo.
In the United States, the region code corresponds to the two-letter abbreviation
of each state. In Canada, the region code corresponds to the two-letter province or
territory code as attributed by Canada Post.
For the rest of the world, GeoIP uses FIPS 10-4 codes to represent regions.
You can check &url.maxmind.fips;
for a detailed list of FIPS 10-4 codes.
This function is always available if using GeoIP Library version 1.4.1 or newer. The
data is taken directly from the GeoIP Library and not from any database.
