You can use Google geocade API

Read here

For e.g. https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=1600+Amphitheatre+Parkway,+Mountain+View,+CA&key=YOUR_API_KEY

This will return Country name, postal code, lat lng etc

--EDIT--

This is how i implemented it

$url = 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=shimla&key=';

$json = file_get_contents($url);
print_r($json);
