Google Analytics - Now they also have numerous API so you can get all the data you want through PHP/your server.

Piwik is a self-hosted, Open Source competitor to Google Analytics written in PHP.

It can do 1) and 2) no problem.

The one thing it doesn't seem to be doing, at least not out of the box, is user location on city or at least regional level. It can get the country and the online provider, but nothing more detailed. Google's geolocation is probably unbeatable here.

The huge advantage of a self-hosted solution over something like Google Analytics is obviously that no third party gets hold of visitor data.
