To Get Current City, State, and Zip Code Using PHP using PHP, we use IP Geolocation API to get the data of Current City, State, and Zip Code as well as coordinates.

This location API is useful when you develop any location or tracking-based projects using PHP. To get the data we use file_get_contents() function and for each loop to get all the data at once.
