How to get country code php?

I have written a class based on "Chandra Nakka" answer. Hopefully it can help people out it saves the information from geoplugin to a session so the load is much faster when recalling the information. It also saves the values to a private array so recalling in the same code is the fastest as it could be.

class Geo {
private $_ip = null;
private $_useSession = true;
private $_sessionNameData = 'GEO_SESSION_DATA';
private $_hasError = false;
private $_geoData = [];

const PURPOSE_SUPPORT = [
    "all", "*", "location",
    "request",
    "latitude", 
    "longitude",
    "accuracy",
    "timezonde",
    "currencycode",
    "currencysymbol",
    "currencysymbolutf8",
    "country", 
    "countrycode", 
    "state", "region", 
    "city", 
    "address",
    "continent", 
    "continentcode"
];
const CONTINENTS = [
    "AF" => "Africa",
    "AN" => "Antarctica",

    "NA" => "North America",
    "SA" => "South America"

function __construct($ip = null, $deepDetect = true, $useSession = true)

    $this->_startSession();

    if ($this->_hasError || !count($this->_geoData) && !in_array($purpose, self::PURPOSE_SUPPORT)) {

Answering the 'op' question with this class you can call

$country = (new \Geo())->get('country'); // United Kingdom

And the other properties available are:

$geo = new \Geo('185.35.50.4');
var_dump($geo->get('*')); // allias all / location
var_dump($geo->get('country'));
var_dump($geo->get('countrycode'));
var_dump($geo->get('state')); // allias region
var_dump($geo->get('city')); 
var_dump($geo->get('address')); 
var_dump($geo->get('continent')); 
var_dump($geo->get('continentcode'));   
var_dump($geo->get('request'));
var_dump($geo->get('latitude'));
var_dump($geo->get('longitude'));
var_dump($geo->get('accuracy'));
var_dump($geo->get('timezonde'));
var_dump($geo->get('currencyCode'));
var_dump($geo->get('currencySymbol'));
var_dump($geo->get('currencySymbolUTF8'));

Returning

array(15) {
  ["request"]=>
  string(11) "185.35.50.4"
  ["latitude"]=>
  string(7) "51.4439"
  ["longitude"]=>

  string(2) "50"
  ["timezonde"]=>
  string(13) "Europe/London"
  ["currencycode"]=>
  string(3) "GBP"
  ["currencysymbol"]=>
  string(2) "£"
  ["currencysymbolutf8"]=>
  string(2) "£"
  ["city"]=>
  string(10) "Wandsworth"
