Geocoding is the act of determining an address' lat/lon. Determining the address of a lat/lon is reverse geocoding. The point is, you have everything you need to geocode the address and determine its lat/lon. If you haven't already, check this out:
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/geocoding/ In the above doc there's a sample URL showing you how to geocode an address: http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=1600+Amphitheatre+Parkway,+Mountain+View,+CA&sensor=true_or_false Once you understand this, it's elementary to write a PHP class/script/ function/whatever to perform the geocoding and store the coordinates. If you're not sure where to start, consider using curl to make the URL request. Depending upon the chosen response format, you'll need to use either json_decode or simplexml_load_string. After that you have an object that can be easily manipulated.
