I am having a hard time finding how to convert an inputted address into Longitude and Latitude in PHP...is there anyway how to convert it?

Answer 1

Check this :

$address is your input address

$geo = file_get_contents('http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address='.urlencode($address).'&sensor=false');
// We convert the JSON to an array
$geo = json_decode($geo, true);
// If everything is cool
if ($geo['status'] = 'OK') {
  // We set our values
  $latitude = $geo['results'][0]['geometry']['location']['lat'];
  $longitude =  $geo['results'][0]['geometry']['location']['lng'];
}
