Getting the location from an IP address [duplicate]

Answer 1

The service in Ben Dowling's response has changed, so it's now simpler. To find the location, simply do:

// no need to pass ip any longer; ipinfo grabs the ip of the person requesting
$details = json_decode(file_get_contents("http://ipinfo.io/"));
echo $details->city; // city

The coordinates return in a single string like '31,-80', so from there you just:

$coordinates = explode(",", $details->loc); // -> '31,-89' becomes'31','-80'
echo $coordinates[0]; // latitude
echo $coordinates[1]; // longitude
