Answer 1

Get detailed country code, currency, currency converter, currency symbol etc from http://www.geoplugin.net/json.gp?ip="ip address here"

Answer 2

You can use my service, the http://ipinfo.io API to get the country code:

function get_country($ip) {
    return file_get_contents("http://ipinfo.io/{$ip}/country");
}

echo get_country("8.8.8.8"); // => US

If you're interested in other details you could make a more generic function:

function ip_details($ip) {
    $json = file_get_contents("http://ipinfo.io/{$ip}");
    $details = json_decode($json);
    return $details;
}

$details = ip_details("8.8.8.8");

echo $details->city;     // => Mountain View
echo $details->country;  // => US
echo $details->org;      // => AS15169 Google Inc.
echo $details->hostname; // => google-public-dns-a.google.com

I've used the IP 8.8.8.8 in these examples, but if you want details for the user's IP just pass in $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] instead. More details are available at http://ipinfo.io/developers

You can get a mapping of country codes to currency codes from http://country.io/data/ and add that to your code. Here's a simple example:

function getCurrenyCode($country_code) {
    $currency_codes = array(
        'GB' => 'GBP',
        'FR' => 'EUR',
        'DE' => 'EUR',
        'IT' => 'EUR',
    );

    if(isset($currency_codes[$country_code])) {
        return $curreny_codes[$country_code];
    }

    return 'USD'; // Default to USD
}
