How to get current location and network IP in codeigniter?

When Staff login we need to retrieve the current location automatically and insert it.It's an online punch In/Out system.So just to make sure that In/Out is not misused by punching In/Out in from other places. Using the http://ipinfo.io/ as Gaurang Joshi mentioned below i get the internet IP and latitude and logitudes.So do i need to use any google map library to get the specific location?How to implement it?Any Help.

Server IP

To get server IP address by $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR']

Local IP

To get client IP by $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']

To find location simply do:

//ipinfo grabs the ip of the person requesting

 $getloc = json_decode(file_get_contents("http://ipinfo.io/"));

 echo $getloc->city; //to get city

If you are using coordinates it returns in single string like 32,-72 so, for that you can use:

$coordinates = explode(",", $getloc->loc); // -> '32,-72' becomes'32','-72'
echo $coordinates[0]; // latitude
echo $coordinates[1]; // longitude
