Get visitor's location details from IP address in php

If you want to track your visitor's location details like city, state, country etc then you can use the following script. In PHP we can easily get the visitors/ user IP address by using $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] option. But you can't get other information like country, city, state etc directly in PHP. Codehelper.io provides the solution for this.

How to get user/ visitor Location in PHP

<?php
require_once("userip/ip.codehelper.io.php");
require_once("userip/php_fast_cache.php");

$_ip = new ip_codehelper();

$real_client_ip_address = $_ip->getRealIP();
$visitor_location       = $_ip->getLocation($real_client_ip_address);

$guest_ip   = $visitor_location['IP'];
$guest_country = $visitor_location['CountryName'];
$guest_city  = $visitor_location['CityName'];
$guest_state = $visitor_location['RegionName'];

echo "IP Address: ". $guest_ip. "<br/>";
echo "Country: ". $guest_country. "<br/>";
echo "State: ". $guest_state. "<br/>";
echo "City: ". $guest_city. "<br/>";

?>

$ip 			= $visitor_location['IP'];
$Continent_Code 	= $$$visitor_location['ContinentCode'];
$Continent_Name 	= $visitor_location['ContinentName'];
$Country_Code2 		= $visitor_location['CountryCode2'];
$Country_Code3 		= $visitor_location['CountryCode3'];
$Country 		= $visitor_location['Country'];
$Country_Name 		= $visitor_location['CountryName'];
$State_Name 		= $visitor_location['RegionName'];
$City_Name 		= $visitor_location['CityName'];
$City_Latitude 		= $visitor_location['CityLatitude'];
$City_Longitude 	= $visitor_location['CityLongitude'];
$Country_Latitude 	= $visitor_location['CountryLatitude'];
$Country_Longitude 	= $visitor_location['CountryLongitude'];
$Country_Longitude 	= $visitor_location['CountryLongitude'];
$LocalTimeZone 		= $visitor_location['LocalTimeZone'];
$Calling_Code 		= $visitor_location['CallingCode'];
$Population 		= $visitor_location['Population'];
$Area_SqKm 		= $visitor_location['AreaSqKm'];
$Capital 		= $visitor_location['Capital'];
$Electrical 		= $visitor_location['Electrical'];
$Languages 		= $visitor_location['Languages'];
