Live location tracking using php and javascript

[urajesh]

 

As we have been working on an eCommerce project, we want to add an option in the eCommerce, that user should have the live location tracking of delivery boy (as same as SWIGGY) in the website. Is there any chance to track the live location using PHP and JavaScript? Searched on the google but nothing resolved my problem? Please anyone suggest us to track the live location of the delivery boy. Thanks in advance

You can use 

window.navigator.geolocation.watchPosition

or try

getCurrentPosition

with setInterval()

So you want tracking information but want it refreshed on a regular basis? Is it always shipped through the same shipping company? ie FedEx, UPS, etc? If not you'll have to come up with a solution for each tracking company. Just deal with pulling tracking information first, then worry about refreshing it. So you have to pull the shipping provider and tracking # out of your database, then based on the shipping provider use an api to get the tracking info, then parse that info and display it.

Thank you for your response, We are not particular about the shipping company and Is it possible to track the live location of the delivery boy (say) using PHP,  Will you please suggest us some reference links or sample code so that we can change our code to match our requirement.
