I am trying to create a simple php function that utilizes the
Geocoding API V3 web service. I have posted sample code below. I
hardcoded an
address in there to show an example of the format of the variable
being passed in. I cannot figure out why this function fails. The xml
just comes back blank.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
function geocodeAddress($address){
$address = "1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View CA";
define("MAPS_HOST", "maps.google.com");
$base_url = "http://"; . MAPS_HOST . "/maps/api/geocode/xml";
$request_url = $base_url . "?address=" . urlencode($address) .
"&sensor=false";
$xml = simplexml_load_file($request_url) or die("url not
loading");
$status = $xml->GeocodeResponse->status;
if ($status == "OK") {
// Successful geocode
$lat = $xml->GeocodeResponse->geometry->location->lat;
$lng = $xml->GeocodeResponse->geometry->location->lng;
return $lat . "," . $lng;
}else {
// failure to geocode
return ("failed");
}
}
