Hi guy's, I'm incredibly new to Google Maps API, and Javascript for
that matter so treat me gently!

I've been working on a prototype application, ultimately to be
incorporated into something more meaningful.

I am taking a MySQL database populated with employee names and their
home locations. These locations are stored as both coords and normal
addresses. I use the coords to plot their locations on the map and
their addresses to calculate the driving distances between them.

Now here is my problem. In any given scenario there will be up to 11
employee locations needing to have their driving distances to every
other location calculated. Now if there are 11 locations (worst case
scenario), then I calculate (hopefully correctly) that there will be
55 separate driving distances to be found. My problem occurs when I
try and achieve this, I am assuming that there is a limit to how many
requests you can make in a certain time, because I only receive around
10-15 results back? If this is the case then I ask how can I slow down
the process?

Here is a link to the page I am referring to:
http://phillipshost.co.uk/test/mapwithdistances.php

The page is generated dynamically from the database using php which is
why some of the script may look slightly informal. I haven't had
chance to format it correctly yet.

So I'm either looking for help on what I've implemented incorrectly,
or how to slow down the fetching process so I don't request too much
from the servers at once.

I would also like to know if it is possible to use php to retrieve
these driving distances? And if not can I use javascript to write my
results to a txt file?

Thanks for any help you could provide, it would be much appreciated.
