根据城市名称显示Google地图

Question

I'm a newbie to the Google Maps. I have a city name in a php variable $cityname.

I want to display the Google maps for that city name. How can I make an API request to draw the google maps? I only know how to draw it using the latitude and longitude values.

Something like this: var markerPosition = new google.maps.LatLng(40.782865, -73.965355). How can I just use the geocoding method? Something like this and to draw the map.

Maybe this example can be useful for you: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/geocoding-simple

You should pass the proper address value to geocoder

var address = <?php echo $cityname; ?>

Geocoder retrieves latitude and longitude values (see results[0].geometry.location). Then you can display the map by using them (i.e. setting center and marker).

Hope it helps.
