I got frustrated with Google and just use Yahoo now. You can geocode up to 5000 per day. You need to get an appid key first. http://developer.yahoo.com/maps/rest/V1/geocode.html
$a = address
$c = city
$s = state
$z = zipcode
Code:
function gcode($a, $c, $s, $z) {
if (strpos($a, 'PO Box') > -1) return false;
$url = 'http://local.yahooapis.com/MapsService/V1/geocode?appid=[your appid here]'.
'&street;='.urlencode($a).
'&city;='.urlencode($c).
'&state;='.$s.
'&zipcode;='.$z.
'&output=php';
$response = file_get_contents($url);
if ($response === false) return false;
//die('Request failed');
$phpobj = array_change_key_case(array_shift(array_shift(unserialize($response))));
return $phpobj;
//echo $phpobj['latitude'].'<br />';
//echo $phpobj['longitude'];

Newbie need help please...
I want to translate location into longitude and latitude, I have tried to modify my code as mention by ehicks727, but the result still negative.
here is my code:
Code:
function locate(){
$place=$_REQUEST['place'];
if($place){
$data=$this->gcode($place);
$this->load->view('map/show_map',$data);
$this->load->view('footer_view');
}else{
$this->load->view('map/map_err');
$this->load->view('footer_view');
}
}
function gcode($location) {
$url = 'http://local.yahooapis.com/MapsService/V1/geocode?appid=[my_appid]'.
'&location;='.rawurlencode($location).
'&output=php';
$response = file_get_contents($url);
if ($response === false) return false;
//die('Request failed');
$phpobj = array_change_key_case(array_shift(array_shift(unserialize($response))));
return $phpobj;
}if I echo $data['longitude'] and $data['latitude'], it's always empty.. Any suggestion?
