I am trying to create a javascript array using content that is pulled from a php database.
<?php
//This creates an array from the database and allows us to use it later in the jquery
//CREATE SQL STATEMENT
$sql_locations = "SELECT * FROM tbllocations";
//CONNECT TO MYSQL SERVER
require('test-connection.php');
//EXECUTE SQL STATEMENT
$rs_locations = mysqli_query($vconnection, $sql_locations);
$rs_locations_rows = mysqli_fetch_assoc($rs_locations);
foreach( $rs_locations as $rs_location ) {
$markers[] = array(
"{$rs_location['place']}, {$rs_location['city']}",
$rs_location['long'],
$rs_location['lat']
);
}
?>
<div id="map_wrapper">
<div id="map_canvas" class="mapping"></div>
</div>
<style>
#map_wrapper {
height: 400px;
}
#map_canvas {
width: 100%;
height: 100vh;
}
</style>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js"></script>
<script>
function initialize() {
var map;
var bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds();
var mapOptions = {
mapTypeId: "roadmap",
center: new google.maps.LatLng(47.608941, -122.340145), // somewhere in the uk BEWARE center is required
zoom: 3,
};
// Display a map on the page
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), mapOptions);
map.setTilt(45);
// Multiple Markers
var markers = <?php echo json_encode( $markers ); ?>;
// Info Window Content
var infoWindowContent = [
<?php while($rs_location_rows = mysqli_fetch_assoc($rs_location)) { ?>
['<div class="info_content">' +
'<h3><?php echo $rs_locations_rows['branch']; ?></h3>' +
'<p><?php echo $rs_locations_rows['content']; ?></p>' +
'<p><?php echo $rs_locations_rows['phone']; ?></p>' +
'</div>']
<?php } ?>
];
// Display multiple markers on a map
var infoWindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();
var marker, i;
// Loop through our array of markers & place each one on the map
for (i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) {
var position = new google.maps.LatLng(markers[i][1], markers[i][2]);
bounds.extend(position);
marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: position,
map: map,
title: markers[i][0]
});
// Allow each marker to have an info window
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', (function (marker, i) {
return function () {
infoWindow.setContent(infoWindowContent[i][0]);
infoWindow.open(map, marker);
}
})(marker, i));
// Automatically center the map fitting all markers on the screen
map.fitBounds(bounds);
}
//Override our map zoom level once our fitBounds function runs (Make sure it only runs once)
var boundsListener = google.maps.event.addListener((map), 'bounds_changed', function (event) {
this.setZoom(10);
google.maps.event.removeListener(boundsListener);
});
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
</script>
I have updated the code to show my whole page. I have tried this while loop in the meantime and adding that in stops my page from generating and outputting my map, so my page will hang.
I am thinking to do a for each loop the same way that I have done for the markers, but I have not succeeded thus far
