In this page only the Website HTML-5 Geolocation is described .

The HTML Geolocation option is build-in option in HTML-5.
The purpose of this page is to describe how the Geolocation can be implemented in PHP.

Introduction

The HTML-5 Geolocation implementation makes it possible to get the current location of the Website user with the following restrictions:

• The feature is only available in secure contexts (https).
• The user has to give permission to access his personal location (privacy reason).
• A VPN connection hides the real position and replace the location by the VPN instead. This makes the Geolocation useless.
