MaxMind offers several options. Have a look at the GeoIP PHP API. The paid version of their data offers much more but the GeoLite Country and GeoLite City products they offer may work quite well for you.

For more information, you can also refer to the documentation on PHP's website as well. It includes instructions on setting it up.

You have to look that up in a database. There are various databases of different quality and price. A quite good starting point would be here: http://www.joefission.com/2007/11/geocoding-based-on-an-ip-address/

You have to try which database suits your need, and how much you are willing to spend. Quality is not that good. You can't expect street names. For me here in Austria, it is somtimes up to ~100km wrong.
