I have a question regarding a PHP script that can:

1- Detects any GPS device even built-in on a smartphone.
2- Retrieve Location data from the GPS.
3- Display the data (Latitude, Lonitude, Altitude.)

Thanks.

PHP cannot do it. JavaScript can do some of it but only if it's granted access by the user.

You'd need a higer level programming language like python/c++/java etc.
