get user coordinates from their browser code example

Example 1: php get location of user

//Gets the IP Address from the visitor
$PublicIP = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
//Uses ipinfo.io to get the location of the IP Address, you can use another site but it will probably have a different implementation
$json     = file_get_contents("http://ipinfo.io/$PublicIP/geo");
//Breaks down the JSON object into an array
$json     = json_decode($json, true);
//This variable is the visitor's county
$country  = $json['country'];
//This variable is the visitor's region
$region   = $json['region'];
//This variable is the visitor's city
$city     = $json['city'];

Example 2: jquery get location of user

$("#find_btn").click(function () { //user clicks button
	if ("geolocation" in navigator){ //check geolocation available 
		//try to get user current location using getCurrentPosition() method
		navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position){ 
				$("#result").html("Found your location <br />Lat : "+position.coords.latitude+" </br>Lang :"+ position.coords.longitude);
			});
	}else{
		console.log("Browser doesn't support geolocation!");
	}
});
