Prem Tiwari - - Freebies, PHP Tutorial
This is a quick tutorial. In this tutorial, If you are looking to find address with latitude and longitude, then please keep your close attention in this as I am going to share how to find address with latitude and longitude using google maps API and PHP.
You can find the live demo of this tutorial below and also can download the complete scripts from given below link.
I have created a PHP function getaddress() which will get the complete and formatted address from latitude and longitude with the help of google map API. See the below google map “http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng=30.7333,76.7794&sensor=false”. Create an index.php file and copy paste below code.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 | < ?php //function to get address from lat long function getaddress($lat,$lng) { $url = 'http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json? latlng='.trim($lat).','.trim($lng).'&sensor=false'; $json = @file_get_contents($url); $data=json_decode($json); $status = $data->status; if($status=="OK") { return $data->results[0]->formatted_address; } else { return false; } } ?> |
Lets use the above PHP function getaddress() in your file. Copy below code to use in index.php file.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 | < ?php $lat= 30.7333; //latitude $lng= 76.7794; //longitude $address= getaddress($lat,$lng); if($address) { echo $address; } else { echo "Not found"; } ?> |
