I wish to point out that if you use http   freegeoip net   you don t need to supply to it the IP address of the client s location  Just try these   1  http   freegeoip net xml   2  http   freegeoip net json   3  http   freegeoip net csv   However  I am unable to retrieve the information with AJAX calls  probably because of some cross-origin policy  Apparently they have not allowed public access to their system

You can submit the IP you receive to an online geolocation service  such as http   www geoplugin net json gp ip  lt your ip here gt  amp jsoncallback  lt suitable javascript function in your source gt   then including the source it returns which will run the function you specify in jsoncallback with the geolocation information   Alternatively  you may want to look into HTML5 s geolocation features -- you can see a demo of it in action here  The advantage of this is that you do not need to make requests to foreign servers  but it may not work on browsers that do not support HTML5

Either one of the following links should take care of this   http   ipinfodb com ip location api json php  http   www adam-mcfarland net 2009 11 19 simple-ip-geolocation-using-javascript-and-the-google-ajax-search-api   Those links have tutorials for getting a users location through Javascript  However  they do so through an API to an external data service  If you have an extremely high traffic site  you might want to hosting the data yourself  or getting a premium api service   To host everything yourself  you will have to host a database with IP Geolocation and use ajax to feed the users location into Javascript  If this is the approach you want to take  you can get a free database of IP information below   http   www ipinfodb com ip database php  Please note that this method entails having to periodically update the database to stay accurate in tracing ips to locations
