At last I found hostip.info provides a service for getting the latitude and longitude of a place on the basis of the user’s ip address. Its light weight and free, rather than downloading bulky database and getting paid services, for getting latitude and longitude on the basis of IP.
Here is the simplest way to do it. Requested to http://api.hostip.info/?ip=$ip&position=true it responds XML formatted output. So we need to parse XML code using DOM class of PHP.(#19-#23). Remember, the position=true should be set to get the latitude and longitude otherwise it will not show on default.

Here is the code and I will soon upload the working demo.

I was so frustrated during one project where I need to find out the geological latitude and longitude of the place, with the help of Google Maps. So I googled a lot and came up with a function function (overlay,point).On calling this function on mouse click event the latitude and longitude are returned as point.lat() for latitude and point.lng() for longitude. This is the source code just the javascript part.
