GeoLocation using PHP

Question

I copied paste following code and I am a noob at this. So can you point out error please? I am sorry for asking such a stupid question.

<HTML>

<HEAD>
</HEAD>

<BODY>
    <h3>Client side IP geolocation using <a href="http://ipinfo.io">ipinfo.io</a></h3>
    <hr/>
    <div id="ip"></div>
    <div id="address"></div>
    <hr/>Full response: <pre id="details"></pre>
</BODY>

</HTML>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
$.get("http://ipinfo.io", function(response) {
    $("#ip").html("IP: " + response.ip);
    $("#address").html("Location: " + response.city + ", " + response.region);
    $("#details").html(JSON.stringify(response, null, 4));
}, "jsonp");
</script>

IDK Just want to run this and get geolocation based on IP address and get address of visitor. Will it work? — Himanshu Shankar

HtML5 using get user latitude, longitude and get current user address.

Sample code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"></script>
        <script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.exp&signed_in=true"></script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <p>Address: <div id="address"></div></p>
    </body>
    <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
    $(document).ready(function() {

        var currgeocoder;

        //Set geo location lat and long
        navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position, html5Error) {
            geo_loc = processGeolocationResult(position);
            currLatLong = geo_loc.split(",");
            initializeCurrent(currLatLong[0], currLatLong[1]);
        });

        //Get geo location result
        function processGeolocationResult(position) {
            html5Lat = position.coords.latitude; //Get latitude
            html5Lon = position.coords.longitude; //Get longitude
            html5TimeStamp = position.timestamp; //Get timestamp
            html5Accuracy = position.coords.accuracy; //Get accuracy in meters
            return (html5Lat).toFixed(8) + ", " + (html5Lon).toFixed(8);
        }

        //Check value is present or
        function initializeCurrent(latcurr, longcurr) {
            currgeocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();

            console.log(latcurr + "-- ######## --" + longcurr);

            if (latcurr != '' && longcurr != '') {
                //call google api function
                var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(latcurr, longcurr);
                return getCurrentAddress(myLatlng);
            }
        }

        //Get current address
        function getCurrentAddress(location) {
            currgeocoder.geocode({
                'location': location
            }, function(results, status) {
                if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
                    console.log(results[0]);
                    $("#address").html(results[0].formatted_address);
                } else {
                    alert('Geocode was not successful for the following reason: ' + status);
                }
            });
        }
    });
    </script>
</html>

Use this:

<?php 
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$locationArray = unserialize(file_get_contents('http://www.geoplugin.net/php.gp?ip=' . $ip));
echo '<pre>';
print_r($locationArray);

?>

I would like to prefer geoplugin better than http://ipinfo.io as its request limit per minute is max.

For more info please visit: http://www.geoplugin.com/

Yeah. BTW you should check HTML5 one. IDK which one of two I will use. But yours definitely useful man!

Mike Q Over a year ago

You need to keep two things in mind here . (1) using REMOTE_ADDR should be the last of several other things to check first. For example in my case it used the server and returned 404 for this call. (2) this is only going to be roughly accurate. HTML5 would be much better (but hard to implement) or a pay service etc. .
