What I want to happen: User inputs customer data (name,address, etc) on a form, hits the submit button and that users info is updated to a msql database table. There is also a map page that calls on the mysql database and updates the map (not included in the code because that page works fine).
The issue: Gecode on this page isn't working. I want to have the lat/lng geocoded and saved to the table at the same time as the rest of the information so that if they go to the map screen next, there will be an updated marker at the address saved on this page. As it stands right now the lat and lng fields always show 0.000000, without any errors being reported. What am I doing wrong?

EDITED 8/21/15
I updated the code section to reflect what I have found on the Google Maps JavaScript API. Originally I had the geocode script in the <head> but according to the google example it goes in the body. I was able to get the example code to work:
<!DOCTYPE html>

var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {

});
var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
document.getElementById('submit').addEventListener('click', function() {
geocodeAddress(geocoder, map);
});
}
function geocodeAddress(geocoder, resultsMap) {
var address = document.getElementById('address').value;
geocoder.geocode({'address': address}, function(results, status) {
if (status === google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
document.getElementById("lat").innerHTML = results[0].geometry.location.lat();
document.getElementById("lng").innerHTML = results[0].geometry.location.lng();
resultsMap.setCenter(results[0].geometry.location);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
map: resultsMap,
position: results[0].geometry.location
});
} else {
alert('Geocode was not successful for the following reason: ' + status);
}
});
}
</script>
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?signed_in=true&callback=initMap"
async defer></script>
</body>
</html>
But it's calling the address from within the map, I want to call the address from the form, which I thought wouldn't really matter as long as the names and id's were correct but I still can't seem to get my code to work right. With the sample code I was able to write the lat and lng to separate <div> tags so I know that the geocode is working. Could it be that my file is saved as a .php?
