If you need to get location from an IP address you can use reliable geo ip service, you can get more detail here. It supports IPv6.
As a bonus it allows to check whether ip address is a tor node, public proxy or spammer.
You can use javascript or php as below.

$(document).ready(function () {
$('#btnGetIpDetail').click(function () {
if ($('#txtIP').val() == '') {
alert('IP address is reqired');
return false;
}
$.getJSON("http://ip-api.io/json/" + $('#txtIP').val(),
function (result) {
alert('City Name: ' + result.city)
console.log(result);
});
});
});

$result = json_decode(file_get_contents('http://ip-api.io/json/64.30.228.118'));
