    With GeoIP2, the easiest way is to:

    * Grab the latest GeoIP2 Lite Database(s): https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoip2/geolite2/
    * Grab the latest geoip2.phar: https://github.com/maxmind/GeoIP2-php/releases

    <?php
    require_once("geoip2.phar");
    use     GeoIp2\Database\Reader;
    // City DB
    $reader = new Reader('/path/to/GeoLite2-City.mmdb');
    $record = $reader->city($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
    // or for Country DB
    // $reader = new Reader('/path/to/GeoLite2-Country.mmdb');
    // $record = $reader->country($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
    print($record->country->isoCode . "\n");
    print(    $record->country->name . "\n");
    print(    $record->country->names['zh-CN'] . "\n");
    print(    $record->mostSpecificSubdivision->name . "\n");
    print(    $record->mostSpecificSubdivision->isoCode . "\n");
    print(    $record->city->name . "\n");
    print(    $record->postal->code . "\n");
    print(    $record->location->latitude . "\n");
    print(    $record->location->longitude . "\n");

    It should be noted that this extension has now been superseded by the GeoIP2 API that MaxMind now produces. There is a pure-PHP set of classes and a C library and extension you can optionally install. The code can be found in various projects on MaxMind's GitHub page: https://github.com/maxmind/

    If you want to use the C Library
    Example for Ubuntu and PHP 7.4

    sudo apt install libmaxminddb0 libmaxminddb-dev mmdb-bin
    pecl install maxminddb
    vi /etc/php/7.4/mods-available/maxmind.ini
    add
    extension=maxminddb.so
    phpenmod maxmind

    In code
    <?php

    use MaxMind\Db\Reader;

    $ipAddress = '24.24.24.24';
    $databaseFile = '/usr/share/GeoIP/GeoLite2-Country.mmdb';

    $reader = new Reader($databaseFile);

    // get returns just the record for the IP address
    print_r($reader->get($ipAddress));

    // getWithPrefixLen returns an array containing the record and the
    // associated prefix length for that record.
    print_r($reader->getWithPrefixLen($ipAddress));

    $reader->close();
