To get the continent of the current visitor, just use the IP address as parameter:

<?php
$continent = geoip_continent_code_by_name($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
?>

If you also want to support the Apache GeoIP extension:

<?php

if(isset($_SERVER["GEOIP_CONTINENT_CODE"]))
  $continent = $_SERVER["GEOIP_CONTINENT_CODE"];
elseif(function_exists("geoip_continent_code_by_name") && isset($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']))
  $continent = geoip_continent_code_by_name($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
else
  $continent = 'unknown';

?>
