I found a nice javascript function that takes two points of latitude
and longitude and returns a midpoint. I'm now trying to rewrite in
PHP, but having some problems. Here's the original javascript
function, taken from http://www.movable-type.co.uk/scripts/
LatLong.html :
LatLong.midPoint = function(p1, p2) {
var dLon = p2.lon - p1.lon;
var Bx = Math.cos(p2.lat) * Math.cos(dLon);
var By = Math.cos(p2.lat) * Math.sin(dLon);
lat3 = Math.atan2(Math.sin(p1.lat)+Math.sin(p2.lat),
Math.sqrt((Math.cos(p1.lat)+Bx)*(Math.cos(p1.lat)
+Bx) + By*By ) );
lon3 = p1.lon + Math.atan2(By, Math.cos(p1.lat) + Bx);
if (isNaN(lat3) || isNaN(lon3)) return null;
return new LatLong(lat3*180/Math.PI, lon3*180/Math.PI);
}
And here's my PHP variant, which isn't working:
function midpoint ($lat1, $lng1, $lat2, $lng2) {
$dlng = $lng2 - $lng1;
$Bx = cos($lat2) * cos($dlng);
$By = cos($lat2) * sin($dlng);
$lat3 = atan2( sin($lat1)+sin($lat2), sqrt((cos($lat1)+$Bx)*(cos
($lat1)+$Bx) + $By*$By ));
$lng3 = $lng1 + atan2($By, (cos($lat1) + $Bx));
$pi = pi();
return ($lat3*180)/$pi .' '. ($lng3*180)/$pi;
}
Any ideas why it's returning wrong values?
