geoplugin.com has a free php class that works pretty good

just save this as geoplugin.class.php

$version 1.01


This PHP class uses the PHP Webservice of http://www.geoplugin.com/ to geolocate IP addresses

Geographical location of the IP address (visitor) and locate currency (symbol, code and exchange rate) are returned.

See http://www.geoplugin.com/webservices/php for more specific details of this free service

class geoPlugin {

			$host .= "&limit={$limit}";
			
		return unserialize( $this->fetch($host) );

	}

	
}

?>
then to use it in a php just call it like this
Code:
require_once('geoplugin.class.php');
$geoplugin = new geoPlugin();

$geoplugin->locate();
 
$city = "{$geoplugin->city}";
echo "We have detected , you live in $city";
?>
