I second Randell's answer.

However, one could always integrate a GeoIP such as http://www.maxmind.com/app/php or http://www.ipinfodb.com/. Then you can save the results with the codeigniter session class.

If you want to use the ipinfodb.com api You can add the ip2locationlite.class.php file to your codeigniter application library folder and then create a model function to do whatever geoip logic you need for your application, such as:

function geolocate()
{
    $ipinfodb = new ipinfodb;
    $ipinfodb->setKey('API KEY');

    //Get errors and locations
    $locations = $ipinfodb->getGeoLocation($this->input->ip_address());
    $errors = $ipinfodb->getError();

   //Set geolocation cookie
   if(empty($errors))
   {
       foreach ($locations as $field => $val):
            if($field === 'CountryCode')
            {
                $place = $val;
            }
       endforeach;
   }
   return $place;
}
