Finding location from Latitude and longitude

[gozoober]

Hi,

 

I am sure this has been asked before but I could not find it.  Basically I have a database with property listings along with latitudes and longitudes for each property.

 

Is there a php script that can tell me the location when it's passed the latitude and longitude so I know the location that each property is in?

 

Thanks,

 

Richard

Use a WHERE clause in your query with the latitude and longitude values.

I don't have the locations, I would like to use the Latitude and Longitude to identify the location, does that make sense?

Yes, it makes sense, read what I said.

 

Use a WHERE clause in your query with the latitude and longitude values.

I believe he wants to perform a reverse geocode.

As far as writing it... I have no idea.. but I needed a store locator for the new website I am creating for my job and found a great google mapping tool at code322.com. It is not super cheap, but it is very good. You can pass an address string or lat/lon

 

Thats the best I can do for ya.

DarkWater, I am not sure what you mean by this. Just adding a where clause is not going to accomplish what the poster wants. Could you explain more for both my benefit and the original posters benefit?

try this code out. change the $daddr to pull the data from your db

<?php $daddr= "some_GPS_code"; ?>
<form name="form1">
Enter your address:
	<!-- input field where the user can enter the source address-->
	<input type="text" SIZE=40 MAXLENGTH=40 name="saddr" id="saddr" value="" />
	<br>
	<!-- html button with a javascript function attached to it to show the directions in the iframe-->
	<INPUT value="Get Directions" TYPE="SUBMIT" onclick="javascript:GetDirections();return false;">
	<BR>
	<BR>		
	<!-- the iframe to show the directions, this is invisible when the page first loads, since the source attribute is empty  -->

	<iframe id="mapframe" name="mapframe" src=""  frameborder="0" width="640px" height="480px">
	</iframe>			
</form>

<script language="javascript">			
	function GetDirections()
	{				
		var SourceAdress = 'saddr=';

		var DestinationAddress = 'daddr=<?php print $daddr; ?>'; //hardcoded value for the destination address
		var Url = '';
		//read out source adress from the input field
		SourceAdress += document.form1.saddr.value;	
		//form the url 
		Url = 'http://maps.google.com/maps?' + SourceAdress + '&' + DestinationAddress; // + '&output=html';	

		//open url in iframe
		frames['mapframe'].location.href = Url;			

		//you can use the line below to show the directions in a popup window, don;t forget to comment out the line above... 
		//window.open(Url,'directions','width=1024,height=768,scrollbars=yes,toolbar=no,location=no, resizable=no'); 			
	}

</script>

Hope this helps
