Google Locator

[raymond_feliciano]

I need to add a store locator into a cutomers site. I am using the google script from http://code.google.com/apis/maps/articles/phpsqlsearch.html.

When I try to get the XML output to show up on the browser I get 

<?xml version="1.0" ?>

<markers />

This is suppose to display the the dealers name address info and phone within a certain radius, but I get an empty XML file. Here is the code.

 

 

require("database.php");

// Get parameters from URL
$center_lat = $_GET["lat"];
$center_lng = $_GET["lng"];
$radius = $_GET["radius"];

//Start XML file, create parent node
$dom = new DOMDocument("1.0");
$node = $dom->createElement("markers");
$parnode = $dom->appendChild($node);

// Search the rows in the dealers table
$query = sprintf("SELECT firstname, address, city, state_code, zipcode, phone, latitude, longitude,( 3959 * acos( cos( radians('%s') ) * cos( radians(  latitude ) ) * cos( radians( longitude ) - radians('%s') ) + sin( radians('%s') ) * sin( radians( latitude ) ) ) ) AS distance FROM ".TBL_DEALERS." HAVING distance < '%s' ORDER BY distance LIMIT 0 , 20",
mysqli_real_escape_string($connection, $center_lat),
mysqli_real_escape_string($connection, $center_lng),
mysqli_real_escape_string($connection, $center_lat),
mysqli_real_escape_string($connection, $radius));
//$result = mysqli_query($connection, $query);

$result = mysqli_query($connection, $query);
if (!$result) {
  die("Invalid query: " . mysqli_error($connection));
}

header("Content-type: text/xml");

// Iterate through the rows, adding XML nodes for each
while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)){
$node = $dom->createElement("marker");
$newnode = $parnode->appendChild($node);
$newnode->setAttribute("name", $row['fisrtname']);
$newnode->setAttribute("address", $row['address']);
$newnode->setAttribute("city", $row['city']);
$newnode->setAttribute("state", $row['state_code']);
$newnode->setAttribute("zip", $row['zipcode']);
$newnode->setAttribute("phone", $row['phone']);
$newnode->setAttribute("lat", $row['latitude']);
$newnode->setAttribute("lng", $row['longitude']);
$newnode->setAttribute("distance", $row['distance']);
}

$xmlfile =  $dom->saveXML();
echo $xmlfile;

 

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
