No problem if you want to do this on the server in PHP.
Use the GoogleMapAPI
http://www.phpinsider.com/php/code/GoogleMapAPI/
This is very simple to do
Your form can accept the address and then submit to the API and GMA
will send back the lat/long, I have a modified versions which can
provide the Accuracy number as well if you want it. I needed it for my
use.
getGeocode($address)
--------------------
This looks up the geocode of an address. It will use the
database cache
if available. If you want to lookup a geocode without using
the database
cache, use geoGetCoords(). Note: this function is used
internally by the
library, it isn't normally necessary unless you have a
specific need and
you know what you are doing.
Example:
$geocode = $map->getGeocode('237 S 70th suite 220 Lincoln NE
68510');
echo $geocode['lat'];
echo $geocode['lon'];
