You need to maintain a database of IP addresses and their respective countries. Services like the link above provide that database. There is a free version with decent accuracy and a paid-for version that is much more reliable.

Answer 2

Maintain database of IP address and location.
And in $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], you can get the client's IP address. Match this ip address in the range in your database and you can guess the location of client.
