First of all create a simple php function to send request on geoplugin.net with ip address and parse response in array format.

function ipInfo($ip) {
	if(isset($ip)) {
      $data = unserialize(file_get_contents('http://www.geoplugin.net/php.gp?ip='.$ip));
	   if($data['geoplugin_status'] == '200') {
	   	return $data;
	   } else {
	   	echo "Bad request!, Error code is ".$data['geoplugin_status']; 
	   }
	} else {
		echo "IP is not set!"; 
	}
}

Now all done you only need to pass Ip Address in this function and it’ll return ip address details in array format.

var_dump(ipInfo('180.151.74.202'));

In the response you’ll see lot’s of data like Ip address region, country, country code, currency, currency symbol, latitude and longitude etc..
