Get IP or web visitor's location
I have the following codes to locate our website visitor's location. and I think the code below is only reading to our server's location.
It works but I do not think this is something we can get web visitor's current location.
My question is:
1. Above statement. do you think it is right?
2. Do you know any ways I can find our website visitor's current location regardless it is on mobile or PC? I understood there is some proxy or some router may not indicate the current location. That is something I can live with. But I do need some ways to get their location instead of just our server address.
