Geocoder – find your latitude and longitude
Here is a quick way to find your latitude and longitude. It is a PHP script using the Google geocoding service. The Google Store Locator demo on this site utilizes the latitude and longitude from such a request to locate nearby Cyberstarweb locations. With this script as a start, you could build an entire site like geocoder.us
Here is the PHP source code of the geocoder.php
<?php if ($_POST['address'] != "") { doGeo(urlencode($_POST['address'])); } doGeo($marker) { // Your Google Maps API key $key = "Your key here"; // Desired address $address = "http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=$marker&output=xml&key=$key"; // Retrieve the URL contents $page = file_get_contents($address); // Parse the returned XML file $xml = new SimpleXMLElement($page); // Retrieve the desired XML node // echo $xml->Response->Placemark->Point->coordinates; // Parse the coordinate string list($longitude, $latitude, $altitude) = explode($xml->Response->Placemark->Point->coordinates); // Output the coordinates echo($marker)." Longitude: $longitude, Latitude: $latitude"; } ?>
