Is there a script in Javascript That Can Determine What Country a User is In?

Question

Would Javascript be good for this? Can JavaScript even do this? If Javascript is not good for this purpose, how about PHP?

you could issue an AJAX request to one of the IP geolocation services. — Stephen Thomas, Mar 18 '14 at 00:28
There is `navigator.language` which gives you the user's locale. You can't access user's IP address with JavaScript, if that's what you were thinking. — sabof, Mar 18 '14 at 00:29

What about the [geolocation API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/WebAPI/Using_geolocation)? — Pointy, Mar 18 '14 at 00:35

});

You could use http://ipinfo.io API for this.

$.get("http://ipinfo.io", function (response) {
    console.log(response.country)
}, "jsonp");
